What a great film this is

Rating: 10/10 (14 April 2001)

Everybody should see this movie. I first saw it in my 12th grade law class (that was more than 10 years ago) and I just finished watch it again. Fantastic! I think it truly shows us what a great debate can do to the understanding of a case. It's justice at its best. We all have prejudices that we must try to put away when making a decision like these men have to make. Why not try to apply this decision making system in our daily life. Maybe then, we would live in a better world.
You can feel the tension in that room. First of all, almost all of the action is in the jury room. It's also almost in real time, so you can follow exactly what happen in the hour and half that the men spend in that room. Another thing, it's the hottest day of the summer and the fan isn't working until almost at the end.
I find also interesting that these men, at the end of the movie, know a lot about each other, but they don't even know each other's name. That's why jury #8 asks jury # 7 his name when exiting the court building at the end.
Truly a classic to be watch by everybody.
Out of 100, I gave it 89. (That's one of my 25 best movies ever seen)
