Masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (21 May 2016)

I have never seen such an amazing film, with so much drama and intensity. A true masterpiece. The plot is. A young boy 18 is accused of murdering his father, and the film starts with him in court. The judge the asked the 12 jury members to go to the jury room and decide if the boy is guilty or not guilty. And if the boy is guilty he will be sent to the chair. So the 12 men go to the jury room and all vote. Every man but 1 votes guilty. Except jury number 8. He reason for this is that he doesn't want to send a boy the death without talking about it first. He can't decide something like that in 2 minutes. So after this the 11 other jury members are angry and are telling him why the kid is guilty. And I listened to the other jury member explain why there believe the kid is guilty, I though he must be guilty they have given a lot of reasons why he is. So not only is Jury number 8 trying to change there minds he is also trying to change mine. So jury number 8 sets on giving reasons why he think the boy could be innocent. He forces on the small details, the details no one thought of before, little things that slipped peoples minds. And slowly he starts changing there minds and mine two (I mean at first I thought he is 100% guilty, but after listening to jury number 8, I now think he is not guilty). And the kid is found not guilty. This film is great because it takes place in one room, they are in the court room for the first 3 minutes. But the rest takes place in the jury room. You would think because of this it would make the film boring, but its is not. The acting is amazing, the drama is great, the story telling is wonderful. And the film being in black and white makes it so much better. This is the best film I've seen so far, and probably ever will be. ONE OF THE BEST FOR SURE.
