An old masterpiece which still holds its own

Rating: 9/10 (20 July 2014)

Being 15 I've only recently heard of, or had the incentive to go back and watch, some of the older classics and this was first on the list. To make a black and white film based solely in the confines of a small room sporting little more than a table and some chairs is a brave endeavour and this film nails it. It's a great example of how a budget doesn't have to affect a film's quality. As long as the story and the characters are there you can create a sensational film as 12 Angry Men demonstrates. Each of the 12 layered characters is unique which keeps it constantly engaging and the little twists along the way help too. Personally I'm very impressed with the film and hope many others like me can watch and enjoy it as it truly is timeless.
