before i begin and let me get something off my chest represent i be a huge fan of john eyre first film project represent shadowchaser . the film and a b grade cross of both the terminator and die hard and may not be the work of a cinematic genius and but be a hugely entertaining action film that become a cult hit ( and spawn two sequel and a spin off ) . judge and jury begin with joseph meeker and a convict killer who be send to death row follow his capture after the so call bloody shootout ( which seem like a poor name for a killing spree meeker kill three people while try to rob a convenience store ) and be lead to the electric chair . there be an amusing scene where meeker talk to the priest about living for sex but meet his one true love ( who be kill during the shootout ) and express his revenge for the person who kill her michael silvano and a wash up football star who spend his day watch his son alex practice football with his high school team ( and end up harass his son coach ) . but once execute and meek return a a revenant ( or a kelly perine call a hamburger without the fry ) and whose sole aim be to get his revenge and which basically mean make silvano life a misery . let me point out the fact that judge and jury be not a true horror film . it be a supernatural action film and with meeker chase silvano and use his ability to change form ( which amount to david keith dress up a everything from an elvis impersonator and a french chef ( with an accent as bad a his moustache ) and a drag queen and a clown and a stand up comedian ) and a shotgun which fire explosive round and an invulnerability to death ( although that doesn not stop martin kove from shoot keith with a desert eagle ) and to pay silvano back for kill meeker wife . director john eyre do not seem interested in characterisation and instead focus solely on action scene and which the film have plenty of . but that be the film main flaw and since there nothing to connect the action scenes together . the acting be surprisingly good and with keith deliver the best performance and support ably by kove and as well a paul koslo and who play the wash up cop quite well . kelly perine be annoy a the cabbie who try to help but make the situation worse .
