An excellent adaptation of an excellent play!

Rating: 10/10 (5 October 1999)

I had read the actual play "Twelve Angry Men" about six years before I saw this film. It was everything I remembered and better. The development of each character was masterfully done and the setting was imaginative yet realistic. This story gives the viewer a new faith in the judicial system. I was incredibly impressed with the whole production and would recommend this movie to anyone mature enough to understand the circumstances surrounding the jury deliberations depicted. If you have ever been on jury duty, I'm sure this movie will either bring back memories or make you realize your turn wasn't as bad as you thought.
