Review of 12 Angry Men (1957) by Chris M — 05 Jan 2013
A group of twelve jurors must come to a unanimous decision as to whether or not a teenager from the slums is guilty of killing his father. All the jurors believe he is guilty except one (Henry Fonda) who doubts that he committed the crime based on the evidence and convinces his fellow jurors to reconsider.
What later results is a hot and long day of arguing, re-examing, and persuading each other in regards to this person's fate. 12 Angry Men remains the pinnacle of all courtroom dramas since no other film of its genre has explored the frustrations, the doubts, and even one's personal knowledge that are associated with the decisions that real-life jurors have to make.
