Rating: 9/10 (17 February 2012)

Don't think I've ever watched a black and white movie but looking at all the reviews I couldn't stop myself from watching this one.
I gave myself 15 mins to get into this movie and think I only needed 5.
Outstanding film that displays suck a strong message in how people can behave in such a situation.
The jury members who are all white male ranging from difference ages and personalities are obviously what makes the film so exciting.
The film begins with a vote as soon they enter the room and only 1 votes not guilty. This character is what I believe makes this film. The way he produces his facts glues you to the TV to await each other juror's response. Each response is taken differently each time facts are given. Difficult to explain but very interesting and exciting.
The film really does show how people react in everyday situations and in the films case the impact it could have on a young mans life.
Can't put my finger on why I only gave this a 9 - will definitely watch it again to catch all the detail.
happy viewing
