Greatness knows no time

Rating: 10/10 (28 September 2006)

The greatness of this film is in the intelligent debate of logically trying to decide if a man is guilty or innocent. What takes place in this film transcends human thought. It follows a very precise and complex line of thought moving from one persons subconscious to the next analyzing the possibilities through countless view points. What makes this film stand out is the lack of information and the pure joy of examining the evidence ourselves and using the deductions by our 12 men to move with them toward their own conclusion. All people can identify with one individual or another in this film. It pulls us in, making us think about the possibilities. We argue ourselves really, right along with each juror until the very end. And wonderfully, we are left feeling vindicated. A classic for the ages!
