Excellent Acting, Incredible Story

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2002)

This is one of the best movies ever made. I found it incredibly captivating from start to finish. What I liked most about 12 Angry Men are the characters. Talented actors and the great director Sidney Lumet brought them to life.
I think the most powerful scene was when Henry Fonda's character pulls out the knife and throws it onto the table. I almost got up from my chair just like the rest of the jurors.
I've been watching dozens of classics in recent months, and 12 Angry Men is the best pre-1972 movie that I've seen.
The 1997 remake is supposed to be very good as well. I can't wait to see it but I can't imagine it to be as good as this version.
I rated this movie 10 out of 10.
