Seemed boring at first but i before i knew it, an hour had passed

Rating: 9/10 (5 October 2017)

What seemed to be a long ride ended up with me wanting more of it -
wanting to see who the real killer was (even though it was pretty unrelated to the intended meaning of the show). When the show ended I was more upset that it was a cliffhanger ending. I was initially a bit hesitant because of the picture quality and it being black and white. Also, the idea of centering an entire moving around a single jury meeting seemed trivial to me. But seeing how the group of men interacted with one another - their different histories, personalities, agendas, and attitudes coming into this jury discussion - was extremely refreshing and revealed many truths in the human psyche. One wanted to get it done over and quickly because he had a football game to catch, another because he didn't want to let go of the prosecuted, even if there was a chance he was not guilty. And the lone architect who was super careful and always "did not have a reasonable doubt" that the boy was guilty. Overall, I was captured by his persistence and uprightness, sticking to his beliefs and being successful in changing an 1-11 vote to 12-0 vote, with everyone not being sure within a reasonable doubt that the boy was guilty of the murder. Also, did I mention the amazing "cinematic-ness" of the camera and staging?
