A Cinematic Thriller!!

Rating: 9/10 (30 April 2013)

This movie conveys the sweaty, tension-filled atmosphere of a stifling jury room but never feels oppressive, thanks to Lumet's fluid direction. My favorite moment comes when Fonda begins counting off paces around the jury table (a key piece of evidence hinges on this), and the camera drops to floor level and follows his feet as he does so. Choices like this prevent Lumet's film from ever being static or stagy. The jury decides the boy is not guilty after re-reviewing the case. Pretty inspiring! Christopher Nolan has done it again!!!!!!
