Great acting and great dialogue

Rating: 8/10 (21 August 2019)

This is one of the rare black and white movie that stands the test of time for me. It's 12 jurors who are put in charge of the fate of a young man in a murder trial. It's not just guilty or not guilty because if they choose guilty the man gets the death penalty. This have more gravity to it and it's the main reason one juror opposes guilty at the beginning. Throughout the process they talk it out and see maybe he is guilty, maybe he isn't, but there is more reasonable doubt than there was at first glance with the trial. It's a movie all in one room and that is 62 years old so the odds were in the favor of me not enjoying it but I get why this is rated so highly and I enjoyed it. I probably won't watch it again but the acting was pretty good and it's very impressive to stand up this far down the road.
