A must see film by director Sidney Lumet and top knotch performances from Henry Fonda, Ed Begley, E.G. Marshall and Jack Warden.

Rating: 9/10 (24 October 1998)

This movie will keep you on the edge of your seat as tensions spill over in a jury room. Aside from a brief seen in the beginning of the film, the entire story is told inside the jury room itself. Henry Fonda has often referred to this effort as his favorite and I could not agree more. I've seen 12 Angry Men many times since 1957 when it was first released. It is in black and white which seems to fit the film perfectly. Note the great use of close-ups used by Sidney Lumet. It is truly a classic and I strongly recommend it.
