Remarkable

Rating: 10/10 (25 July 2013)

What 12 Angry Men does is truly brilliant. The whole story unfolds in one single setting, and there is no action, yet conversation that somehow never bores. What the movie is able to achieve just through great acting and writing is astounding. It is hard to find something wrong with this movie if you focus on the right things. It does not matter if the boy was actually guilty, the movie is not a murder mystery, but that there is not indisputable evidence against him that would in turn sentence him to death. It makes you realize how defenseless one could be if he/she did not possess enough money for a lawyer that would properly defend you.
