"An outstanding film"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Artfully portrays to the viewer the often complex and confrontational communication involved when you're on a jury with the potential of sentencing a man death by electric chair. Often it is what is NOT said that speaks louder than words as this film tries to grapple with multiple personalities and egos around a table.

Description

12 Angry Men is an American 1957 drama movie starring Henry Fonda, Lee J. Cobb and Martin Balsam, presented on Blu-ray.

The defence and the prosecution have rested and the jury is filing into the jury room to decide if a young Spanish-American is guilty or innocent of murdering his father. What begins as an open and shut case of murder soon becomes a mini-drama of each of the jurors' prejudices and preconceptions about the trial, the accused, and each other. Based on the play, all of the action takes place on the stage of the jury room.

12 Angry Men movie reviews

“Too few films take on the art of arguing as a subject; we could certainly use more of them, but until then, Lumet's window into strained civic duty will continue to serve mightily.” Time Out

“Mechanically written, but within its own middlebrow limitations, it delivers the goods.” Chicago Reader

“Although it may sound ungallant, these 12 Angry Men, are all right without distaff glamour. Their dramas are powerful and provocative enough to keep a viewer spellbound.” New York Times

“The cast is incredible, the writing superb, and the film is unparalleled in its sheer excellence.” Cinema Crazed
