5/10

A B production that starts well and then treads water until a rushed ending.

The plot of The Verdict resolves around gangsters trying to 'fix' a jury.

Too much is rushed during the last ten minutes of this 59 minute British B movie, however. And little happens during the first 30 minutes, making watching this pretty much a waste of time.

The acting is maybe OK, but nothing in this is shot well or planned out well.

I watched it to see Zena Marshall, after seeing her give a fine performance in The Embezzler (1954). Watch that movie instead and avoid The Verdict.

Both are B productions, but The Verdict really doesn't work and is not particularly engaging. To boot, the ending seems like a twist, but it is one that would collapse the day after once several witnesses/participants in the various doings herein would be questioned.

5.25/10.
