The perfect court drama

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2006)

This is the perfect court drama. It involves the struggle of jurors trying to make the right decision concerning the fate of a man. The staging of this classic is shot in one room. Always focusing on the struggle at the time and not cluttering the movie with the externals. It invites us to join struggle that happens once the trill is over. The writing and acting draw us into that conflict. I am particularly enamored over the black and white photography and the one room set. If color had been more widely used at that time, it would have changed the entire feel of the movie. I typically say that one must suspend their disbelief for movies. This is one film that you want to believe absolutely
