A great movie for newbie jury duty citizens

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2014)

12 Angry Men: I liked this movie because it was shot in a 2 month period - one set - and everybody was on set at the same time... very real, very rare these days. Henry Fonda produced it with his own dime - Again very rare - All the actors seemed extremely real and unforgiving. The actors ability to hold the passion and hope of the jury's outcome keeps the viewer completely involved. The film shows prejudice in many forms, like having a kid of your own you don't like, or color, race, age, financial status, local/foreign connections, how people see from a distance with poor eye site, but hear what they want to. Great cast and simple photography puts this film in my top 100.
