courtroom / drama
   (imdb rating: 8.8/10)


Plot: A dissenting juror in a murder trial slowly manages to convince the others that the case is not as obviously clear as it seemed in court.

A pretty interesting movie that is all dialogue which exposes the events of the trial in question. 12 men sit down after a case to decide the fate of a a young man charged with murder. It gets pretty emotional and I feel some of the acting is overwrought (juror #3, Lee J. Cobb, who looks like an older Jason Segel of HIMYM)

As novel as it was for 57, I kept waiting for the other show to drop at the end, namely juror #8 (Fonda) to reveal some crazy ish at the end (like a connection to the defendant)

Good stuff, classic

This movie is in black and white
