'Simply' outstanding!

Rating: 9/10 (21 June 2006)

12 Angry Men is one of the finest black and white films ever made. This movie just proves that how by brilliant writing and brilliant performances one can make a brilliant movie. Almost the whole movie is shot in a single room and thats where lies the command of the director over his craft. The performances of everyone is outstanding. Every person is shown to be a different character and has portrayed the same with at most sincerity. The other reason why this movie stands out i feel is that one is never bored or lost track of the plot even once during the whole movie in spite of most of it being shot in a single room. Also the manner in which the lone juror convinces others of his belief is different for different characters and is superbly brought out. For me this is the most amazing and simple movie i have ever seen!
