You may not like old black and white movies , but make sure not to miss this one ----great direction and acting.

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 2010)

Imagine you have to sit and watch a black and white movie , that too shot mostly in one room,got butterflies in stomach.But if you are an admirer of great direction and art of progression of plot , you will make sure not to miss this one.Directed by Sidney Lumet , it is a true classic.It begins with the case of an 18 year old boy blamed for killing his father, all evidences against him.The 12 jury members have to decide his fate.Though they are quite reluctant to even discuss this case initially, the chain of events would arouse a sense of curiosity in you.Excellent plot development and with one shot cameras the acting is superb. But one has to be patient for first 15-20 minutes where plot development is taking place, then everything falls in order.It is a must watch. DESERVED TO BE NO-7 IN IMDb LIST OF TOP 250 MOVIES.
