A tense and absorbing classic!

Rating: Null/10 (22 July 2009)

12 Angry Men is a very entertaining film. It is full of great writing, directing, cinematography, and acting! Henry Fonda proves to be a very strong leading man. His performance here is flawless as a man trying to convince 11 other jurors about the possibility of a man's innocence. Lee J. Cobb is phenomenal, as well as E.G. Marshall. The twists and turns the film goes though are very absorbing, and when the film is done, you feel like you know every one of these characters very well. Sidney Lumet is a very talented director, he captures some very nice shots, and some very long shots that are powerful. 12 Angry Men is one of those rare black-and-white films that are actually very entertaining.
