Greatest Courtroom Drama of *ALL TIME*

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2016)

This is by far the greatest courtroom drama ever made. Instead of focusing on the courtroom itself, this focuses on the jury's deliberations. Despite this it is one of *THE* most intense movies of all time. That the director & writer(s) were able to do *so* much with just 1 room & 12 characters (except for a brief courtroom scene at the start & an occasional appearance by the bailiff) is just amazing. You see the vote start with 11 guilty, 1 not guilty and slowly change to the final verdict of 0 guilty and 12 not guilty.
The movie stars some of the best known actors of all time, as well as a few that hadn't "made their mark" yet, but would come to do so.
The jurors are (from 1 to 12): Martin Balsam (jury foreman), John Fiedler, Lee J. Cobb, E.G. Marshall, Jack Klugman, Edward Binns, Jack Warden, Henry Fonda, Joseph Sweeney, Ed Begley, George Voskovec & Robert Webber.
