A cross-examination of 12 stubborn men

Rating: 8/10 (26 March 2018)

This film is an intriguing portrayal of human nature. The plot follows the troubles of 12 jurors set to convict a young boy accused of murder, as their preconceptions are challenged by one contrary juror who critically analyses the evidence to offer alternative reasons behind each piece.
Despite the fact that the film is essentially set in one room, it remains fascinating to observe who the innate stubbornness of the men is challenged as their thoughts and views are continuously questioned; thus, they end up questioning themselves.
This is undoubtedly a classic due to its cross-examination of the men and their characters whilst they do the same to the evidence presented to them.
