Fantastic stuff (spoilers)

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2003)

This film is one of the most gripping films in history. Wonderful acting all round from every juror and an incredible script give this film pure classic status. Sidney Lumet does wonderful stuff to increase the tension in this one room where all jurors are discussing the fate of this man on trial. Lumet does this by upping the emotional stakes and increasing the heat in the room.
Henry Fonda is brilliant as the only man whos can't decide on this juvenile. But the real star on show in this film is the script itself. it plays around with the case greatly and gives the audience a great detective story set in one room and a wonderful display of how ordinary people decide the fate of thousands every day. This film is gripping stuff and the tension never lets go. the ending is perfect as one of the jurors collapses in despair as he gives his thoughts
