Simple storyline, countless twists, predictable ending

Rating: Null/10 (18 January 2020)

A simple concept for a movie - following the deliberations of a jury on a murder trial - delivered effectively, with little-to-no distraction from the main plot.
Henry Fonda, the eight member of the twelve member jury, votes not-guilty and asks the other jurors to consider the possibility of the young defendant being innocent of the crime at hand.
You can feel the tension amongst the jurors in the deliberations room. Ultimately, with countless arguments amongst the jurors over the course of multiple hours of deliberations, Fonda's reluctance to settle for the easy (but immoral) way out is rewarded by a not-guilty verdict being delivered by the jury.
Recommended watching to get an insight into what it's like to be a member of a jury and have to decide the fate of a defendant (if it's a murder trial).
