Good characters, but predictable

Rating: 7/10 (22 December 2009)

I didn't know much about the movie before I started to watch it, except the fact that everyone says it's one of the best movies ever. When that one member of the jury said he thinks the boy is not guilty, I instantly knew that he is going to convince the other 11 members to believe that by the end of the movie. I think the plot is good and that I couldn't know HOW he is going to make them believe that, but it wasn't really exciting for me. On the other hand, I liked the way they think and how they pay great attention to the details. They are all great actors and great characters, nicely built. I give this film 7/10 because of the story, characters, the acting, but I definitely don't think it's really that stunning, nor a masterpiece. I just wasn't thrilled enough.
