Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

dbborroughs Unremarkable story of a newspaper man investigating the death of the jurors who wrongly corrected an innocent man who was eventually freed, but who committed suicide in a mental hospital by hanging himself and burning himself.If you can't instantly guess who the killer is really and who he is in the cast upon seeing him you're not paying attention.Okay story seems to be going nowhere for much of its running time. WHile never bad, there really is no tension because the plotting is so bad. We know way to much for it to ever work.Not bad, but not really worth losing 66 minutes to it either.

MartinHafer Like many other B-movies, "The Missing Juror" really shows that it was rushed into production. After all, despite a very nice plot, the script is so littered with holes that it's a wonder the thing isn't mistaken for a piece of Swiss cheese! And I am talking about HUGE holes. It's a shame, really, as the idea was great and the film, despite its problems, was a lot of fun.George Macready plays an innocent man mistakenly sent to death row. Fortunately (perhaps), a reporter (Jim Bannon) is able to discover the real perpetrator and Macready is set free. However, his time in the death house apparently has destroyed his mind and he's sent to a sanitarium. Some time later, he apparently killed himself--though the body is so charred that identification is impossible. No one at all questions whether or not it was him--even though it's obvious that it might not be him (huge plot hole #1). Later, one-by-one, the members of the jury that convicted him begin to die. At this point you'd think someone would suggest that the dead man isn't dead and is killing the jurors...but not in this silly film. They only consider this towards the end of the film! Another huge plot problem is that Macready's body was apparently actually the foreman of this jury....and this man just happens to look almost exactly like Macready!!! So, when Macready walks around in a disguise as clever as Clark Kent's, no one is able to determine who he really is! Was this perhaps filmed on some planet other than ours where people are all blind or stupid?! Despite these HUGE problems, the idea of an innocent man snapping and exacting revenge is great. And, the way he kills them is also very good. In many ways, this plot was reminiscent of the much later film "The Abominible Doctor Phibes"--a cheesy but very enjoyable Vincent Price film. Plus, Macready and Bannon were very good actors stuck in a film that was beneath their talents. But, in spite of everything, I still kept watching as the film was entertaining throughout--even if EVERYONE in the audience was smarted than the folks in the film!!

small45-670-264771 NOTE: Don't read the cast credit on IMDb or this movie won't even be a mystery for the first 15 minutes.For the first 15 minutes I thought this movie was not bad (not good, but at least a reasonable example of the B mystery movie genre). The problem occurs in minute 16, or thereabout, when the movie starts to telegraph it's punch so clearly that only an idiot wouldn't see who the killer really is, and what the wrap up is going to be. After that you can turn the movie off, except that stopping is like ceasing to watch a bad accident that you know you shouldn't be looking at. Actually, a bad accident is a lot more interesting than this movie.I won't give away the "surprise". Instead I'll let you participate in the contest to see if you can guess what I was able to figure out by the time of the fire in the mental hospital. It was so obvious that you would have be from Mars to not figure it out.I like a good bad movie, but this isn't one of those. Try some other movie with "Juror" in the title - any other movie with "Juror" in the title.

sol **SPOILERS** You get lost watching"The Missing Juror" within the first ten minutes in that we already see that the convicted murderer Harry Warton was exonerated of his crime just minutes before he was supposed to be hung for it! This all came out when the star witness against Wharton private dick George Szabo gave a "death Bed" confession, after he was gunned down by an unknown assailant, that he set poor Wharton up by the person who's really responsible for what he was convicted of!Instead of finding out, and having arrested, just who the actual killer was we instead have the jurors who convicted Wharton of murder being murdered themselves. Wharton who had since gone mad after his release was put into a lunatic asylum where in a short period of time he ended up killing himself by both hanging and arson. Wharton seemed to have flipped out and killed himself because he just couldn't stand the shame of being incarcerated in the asylum as well as the torture he suffered, that drove him insane, of being put on death row for the last six months of his life.In the movie we have hot shot reporter Joe Keats the man who's investigated reporting got Wharton freed trying to find out just who's responsible for murdering those jurors who had unjustly convicted him. Again no one, the police the courts and even Joe Keats, were not at all interested in finding out who was the man who actually murdered the person whom Wharton was convicted of murdering! Even though with his last dying breath George Szabo identified him which resulted in the court, and prosecuting D.A, overturning Wharton's original death sentence!As we watch, mostly off camera, most of the jurors in the Wharton murder trial get knocked off it doesn't take a genius to figure out just who's doing the knocking. The killer is so obvious to everyone, with his flimsy and unconvincing disguise, that by the time he finally reveals himself to juror, and reporter Keats' girlfriend, Alice Hill you felt like screaming at him, on the TV screen, "What the hell took you so long"!Hard to stay awake throughout the entire film because you can see right from the start that it's not at all interested in who the killer who framed Wharton really is. All we get to see is ace crime reported Joe Keats run around in circles making a complete fool of himself and almost getting killed, in an overheated steam room no less, chasing the elusive killer! Who's about as elusive, to everyone but Keats and his girlfriend Alice, as an 800 pound gorilla stuffing himself with stacks of bananas in an outdoor or open air fruit market!
