Hits all the right buttons

Rating: Null/10 (18 March 2003)

Sidney Lumet's film adaptation of Reginald Rose' play proves to be an artistically great film which successfully manages to entertain
as well. Courtroom-based dramas don't usually strike most viewers as films meant to be highly enjoyable, not as far as fun is concerned. But the riveting, character-based performances of the 12 jurors create such a strong, kinetic force, the viewer can't help but keep his eyes and ears glued to the screen.
