12 men make one great movie

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2001)

A young man is convicted of stabbing his father to death and after the trial it is up to the jury to decide his fate. 11 vote guilty, but juror number 8 has his doubts as to the absolute certainty of the conviction. Now it is a case of the lone juror to preside his view of the case to the other eleven who rushed into the idea of his total guilt. The acting here is what makes the movie work, especially by lead Fonda and Cobb in memorable performances. It is easy to get caught up in this gripping film and basically see how different men interact in when caught up in such a situation. Rating, 10 out of 10.
