Critic Reviews
-
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
[T]his film ranks just below The Firm and The Client on the list of John Grisham-inspired thrillers, thumbs up.
-
Rex Reed, New York Observer
A lot of famous faces populate the courtroom in this overplotted and farfetched tale of jury-tampering, but they and the horse they rode in on are all so mired in illogical, head-scratching incoherence, they need lawyers of their own.

David Edelstein, Slate
In spite of its cheesy plot twists, thoroughly second-rate direction, and criminally wasted ensemble, Runaway Jury adds up to a nice little gotcha! courtroom melodrama.
-
Charles Taylor, Salon.com
Fleder's direction confirms the impression left by his previous films, Don't Say a Word and Kiss the Girls among them, that he's a hack.
-
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
A taut, escapist legal thriller.
