The most average film I've ever seen

If there's ever been a film deserving of an exact 5/10 rating, it's 'Mistrial.' This movie failed to wow me in any way, nor did it make me want to turn it off at any point. The script, while totally unrealistic and unbelievable, was brought to moderate life by the average acting abilities of Pullman, et al., at least enough to keep my half-closed eyes peering at the screen until the credits rolled.If you want to throw something on in the background while you paint your toenails or floss your teeth, throw this film on. But if you're looking for a scintillating example of fine American courtroom drama, keep walking. This movie was only slightly more intellectually engrossing than Pullman's other 90's hit: Spaceballs.

Mistrial more like misfire!

Mistrial (1996) is a courtroom drama executive produced by Renny Harlin and it was very mediocre.Positives for Mistrial (1996): Bill Pullman as Steve Donohue and Jon Seda as Eddie Rios are very good in their roles. The supporting cast does good with their roles. The movie looks nice and is shot competently. And finally, there are some good emotional moments throughout the movie.Negatives for Mistrial (1996): This movie was very boring with its pacing. The movie is very forgettable and I had to rewind certain moments during my viewing experience and I'm still having a hard time remembering stuff. The story and the direction was very predictable from the beginning. And finally, the movie's ending was very confusing.Overall, Mistrial (1996) is a bit of a misfire for me and while there are things I liked, there were also things that I disliked.
