The pinnacle of storytelling

Rating: 9/10 (22 September 2014)

It explodes right from the get go. Confined in a room , the story unfolds like magic. 12 jurors are given the task to decide on a case involving a young boy stabbing and killing his dad. The jurors are strangers to each other as they are to the audience. The story revolves around how these 12 strangers with completely different backgrounds, experiences and opinions go about the case. Its dialogues and camera angles are masterfully crafted . It is one of those movies , where everything you see on screen pushes the story forward , even something as small as moving a piece of furniture or smoking a cigarette. Filled with ironies and unexpected twists , it would be an understatement to say this movie an intense thriller . A roller coaster ride that will keep you glued to the screens throughout. A Must Watch.
