Probably the most timeless movie ever made about negotiations.

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2013)

12 Angry Men is probably the best and most timeless movies ever made about negotiations, negotiating conflict and standing up for a personal belief. In today's world of nanosecond attention and immediate judgment and decision making 12 Angry Men is a powerful reminder to follow personal instinct, gut feeling, and sound, calm reasoning to come to a fair conclusion. As high profile trials are becoming more and more a TV prime-time event, especially in the United States, everyone who is following it wants to get an answer to the question "did he/she do it?". As only fragments of the information are available to TV audiences so it seems that the jurors in 12 Angry Men are only presented information that is easily interpretable from two completely different, opposing angles. The amazing use of stylistic devices builds and reinforces the tension among the jurors from the first to the last minute. The film is truly a timeless classic that is a must watch for virtually anyone.
