Reasonable doubt

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 2020)

12 men locked up for hours in a courtroom. You can feel the intense heat and the tension inside. 12 men deciding on a latin-American boy's life accused of murdering his own father. 12 votes which will, eventually, expose their own lives and inner selves. It masterly puts themselves (ourselves) on trial so many times.
This is a film set in the 50s but with such relevant contemporary significance it is timeless.
Then great genuine performances by Henry Fonda (who could be a gentleman even when he played the bad guy) or Lee Cobb (leaving you speechless at the end)
