Guilty until proved innocent

Rating: 7/10 (19 January 2009)

12 Angry Men is a film which should be taken for what it is. A brilliant and engaging script draws in the viewer and as the events unfold, we are left truly captivated.
The film shows how perceptions in human nature can be clouded by bias, prejudices, or indeed ones' desire to see a baseball game. The subject is even perhaps less about the actual guilt or innocence of the chosen party, than the turmoil the jurors have in deciding so.
Although this movie may be a tad plot-driven and lacking a bit of creativity in directing, taking the film for what it is, it is a great success.
