Absolute masterpiece, DO NOT MISS

Rating: 10/10 (2 February 2019)

I am thoroughly thrilled; I do not usually watch old movies but I found this to be among the top rated IMDb movies and I thought I might as well give it a shot. Right when the movie started, I had a feeling it would be good, because it didn't start out linearly, a court hearing had just ended and the jurors were instructed on making a decision. The jurors gathered up in the Jury Room and oh boy, was it amazing. The whole movie was shot in that room and it is near impossible finding such good storytelling. The entire crime was narrated so perfectly not by actually showing the crime but with words and 'facts'. The direction is out of this world! I mean, you could feel that tension in the room and I have to stress that the actors have done a fantastic, fantastic job! The concept of 'reasonable doubt', the little moments of fun, the little moments of temper, the little moments of feelings, everything was just perfect! It's really not a shocker why this is among the top rated, the rating does the movie justice. Hands down genius.
