Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (1 December 2003)

Virtually the entire film takes place within the jurors room. This just goes to prove that you don't need special	effects to make a film gripping. A good dialogue and a superb performances make the 90 minutes fairly zip along. The case	is an open and shut case, but is it ? The best courtroom drama ever made even though strictly speaking it isn't in the	courtroom. The characters don't have names, but jurors 3,4 and 10 are the real hard nuts. Lee J Cobb is outstanding as juror	3 and Henry Fonda gambles and wins as juror 8.
