12 Angry Men

Rating: 9/10 (16 May 2018)

Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadger
12 Angry Men tells the story of one jury man who goes against the majority in order to prevent a miscarriage of justice. The story might seem rather boring and mundane, but it is quite the opposite. The story is told in real time and the debate between the characters is amazing. The dialogue is fluid and characters are complex yet simple. The ending is very good.
The acting is great. Martin Balsam, John Fiedler, Lee J. Cobb, E.G. Marshall, Jack Klugman, Edward Binns, Jack Warden, Joseph Sweeney, Ed Begley, George Voskovec, and Robert Webber all perform very well. Henry Fonda delivers a stunning performance as a man reluctant to persecute under substantial evidence.
The pacing is perfect and the runtime is short.
The film is very old and this can sway some people from watching it.
Pros: Great story, good characters, fluid dialogue, great ending, good acting, amazing performance by Henry Fonda, perfect pacing, and a short runtime
Cons: The film is very old and some part don't hold up
Overall Rating: 8.9
