so very underrated

Rating: 10/10 (19 September 2001)

Stiffed for some Academy Awards by the masterpiece "The Bridge on the River Kwai" and unfortunately left off of the AFI's list of the 100 greatest movies, "12 Angry Men" has its rightful place as #25 on the Top 250 list on IMDB - it deserves it. A fantastic film from start to finish, "12 Angry Men" had me glued to the screen, taking in every line of dialogue. Going by the KISS theory (Keep It Simple, Stupid), the entire movie takes place in the jury deliberation room and has a very small cast.
Very intelligent and over far too fast, "12 Angry Men" is a real classic. Let's hope its legacy will live on.
