12 Angry Men make one happy viewer!

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2003)

While the term masterpiece is often bandied about capriciously, in the case of director Sidney Lumet's 12 Angry Men the word can be most aptly applied. It is absolutely marvelous to behold the layers of twelve distinctly different men peel away to reveal their fundamental cores as they fulfill their civic duty as jurors who must decide on the fate of a young man accused of murder. The characterization and interaction of the twelve men will fascinate any viewer who enjoys films that explore the triumphs and failings of the human condition. Intriguing premise, perfect casting, intelligent dialogue, and superb direction all make me give 12 Angry Men the the highest possible recommendation. 10/10. Go see it now if you haven't already! 12 Angry Men is a truly unforgettable film experience!!
