You want to see this boy die because you personally want it, not because of the facts!

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 2005)

This is one of the greatest films ever made and one of the most important for everyone to watch. Sidney Lument directs this film with great treatment. Hardly any musical score, and about 95% of the action taking place in one room is very hard to do, but he pulls it off. And I have to say, this is probably one of the greatest ensemble casts ever put on film. All 12 jurors are excellent. Henry Fonda delivers his performance in the every man feel he always performs. Lee J. Cobb delivers his best performance in his career. E.G. Marshall, Martin Balsam, Jack Warden, Ed Begley, and Robert Webber are just a few of the other names that lead the cast with their roles. Why were none of these actors up for any Oscars for this film? It's still a mystery to me. I believe all actors of today, especially all the new actors from the past ten years, should watch this film, and see how the old pros did it. They just don't make 'em like they used to.
