Superb Film!

Rating: 10/10 (1 July 2005)

This has to be one of the greatest films ever made. So simple a script, it wouldn't be difficult to see this happening in real life.
Classic performances by all the actors, especially Henry Fonda.
Whilst black and white this film ranks amongst the highest I have ever seen. I found the storyline to be really moving because you can easily imagine 12 good men and true sending someone down for execution based upon a persons background - "he comes from that poor downtown area so he must be guilty".
If ever I have to be prosecuted in a court of law I want to have a Henry Fonda character sat on the jury.
Highly recommended!
