Courtroom Drama at It's Best

Rating: 10/10 (21 March 2008)

Too much we often think that courtroom dramas are full of suspense and sometimes an overkill of information presented, but this film has stood the test of time and become the classic courtroom drama.
A man's life is on the line, and twelve men must decide his fate, send him to the chair, or set him free. They were the chosen few to serve their community, and ultimately serve the accused. A doubt of guilt can change even the most unlikely of outcomes, and that is what we see in this film. Raw emotion is let loose, as one by one, each man finds that the accused is too, human.
The jury was hung because of one man's belief that there might be some reason of not guilty. Standing by that, he tries to convince the other jurors as well. Starring Henry Fonda and directed by Sidney Lumet, this is one great film you should see. Only one word can describe this film, excellent, and that's the icing on the cake.
