There will never be a more perfect Jury movie

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

This really ought to be required viewing for any potential juror. In a day and age where the internet can mobilize and swarm on a person's reputation in mere moments, this movie is a crystal clear reminder of "reasonable doubt." Justice does not come at the cost of rational discussion. These twelve men, none of them particularly malicious, one by one put aside their prejudices, assumptions, and hang-ups to decide the life or death of an 18 year old young man.

This is, in all honesty, probably Henry Fonda's best role as Juror #8. It takes unflappable courage to think carefully, to admit "I don't know." He moves around the room in pronounced tall, long strides like the Colossus at Rhodes, while Lee Cobb's Juror #3 hunches over, ready to leap across the table. The movie embraces archetypes and imbues each of the jurors with a crystal clear personality, so everyone can find themselves in that room. We want to be Juror #8, but in reality, we all carry baggage that warps our sense of justice.

I could rewatch this movie and find something new to love about it each time. And I'm happiest that there are plenty of holes in Juror #8's defense. There's a real possibility the kid killed his dad. The dad deserves justice, too, and if Juror #8 convinces the whole room, they might be letting his murderer walk free. That is why the real villain of the room isn't Juror #3, or even the bigoted Juror #10. It's Juror #7, watching the clock and changing his vote to whatever gets him to his ballgame the fastest. The victim and the defendant both deserve a thoughtful vote.

A Masterpiece! A Classic. An Important Film

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2018

Verified Purchase

I've seen '12 Angry Men' perhaps 37 or more times and each time I watch it, it is like the first time all over again. I know the film scene by scene, almost word for word. Yet still, my nerves get wracked in anxiety as if I don't know how it will all end. Yes, even though I know the outcome, the pit of my stomach still gets filled with suspense when I start watching it. That's how masterful the story, and the acting is here.

I fell in love with 'Twelve Angry Men' during my AP English class in high school. We read and analyzed the play as a class and I portrayed juror #4 - the rational stockbroker who is unflinching, calm, and analytical; the juror who throughout the deliberations, remains neutral, as he prefers to deal with facts rather than act on emotional bias. I remember that first initial experience vividly. Not only for admiring the logic that my juror #4 exhibited, but for the brilliance all the jurors depicted. Even the vexing and irascible jurors such as number 3 the sadist, and number 10, the bigot and racist, lend themselves to being conduits for important lessons to be learned by the reader.

Also being a lover of classic films, it was a delight when soon after reading the play for the first time in school, I watched Henry Fonda, Lee J. Cobb, E.G. Marshall, Jack Klugman, et al., masterfully depict and bring to life the jurors on Turner Classic Movies. That first time watching this film, I was in awe, transfixed, and stirred at how each actor embodied their role perfectly.

There are some movies that words aren't enough to describe how good and important they are. This film is one of them. Simply put, this is a classic masterpiece. The acting is masterful. The writing, which is directly from the play, is top notch, the directing is fresh and tight, and the black & while cinematography makes the whole ensemble even more visceral and raw than if it had been filmed in color. 5 full stars! If this is your first time watching '12 Angry Men', I implore you to watch it more than once. It pays off every time.

A really great movie

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2020

Verified Purchase

It seems a simple plot involving 12 men, reviewing evidence in a murder trial with all the essential action in a single room is simply NOT substantial enough to support a movie. And with the current audience expectations this movie would very likely not be made. But the movie is not about that. Instead, It's about the interplay of people's biases. When one of the twelve remains calm but unsure of the defendant's guilt and doggedly wants to go through the evidence, the movie comes alive! In the discussions of his areas of doubt, elements in the evidence convince others in the group. The movie is about highlighting how biases we carry about with us, can prevent us from stepping back and examining things for what they are. The movie illustrates how easy it is for biases to influence a decision without realizing it's taking place.
One additional thing: I'm often more interested in supporting characters/actors than the lead. In this case there's an older character that remains rather like a throwaway taking up a chair. But, as the movie continues he emerges as THE one that comes up with the element that convinces the final member to change his vote. And, he's the one that gets the final scene with the lead on the court steps as the movie ends.

I've seen this movie MANY times and loved this 50th Anniversary Edition. Glad I own it now.

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2016

Verified Purchase

This will be a short review, which I recognize isn't always helpful.

1. The "extras" in this 50th Anniversary Edition are excellent. Even if you've seen 12 Angry Men a GILLION times (because it is the kind of film one sees multiple times), you'll love the extras and will learn/glean something from them.

2. If you've never seen this movie but were told you should have seen it, this version will cover everything because the extras will bring you up to speed on the film's significance.

3. In my entire life, I've never heard anyone say they didn't like this movie. Ever. So, again, if you've never seen it or are considering buying it for someone, do it. It's a can't-fail movie. It stands the test of time because "12 people on a jury" is a timeless proposition.

A classic

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 26, 2016

Verified Purchase

I love this film, its about twelve men who get pretty cheesed off with each other while serving as the jury in a murder case. And its all Henry Fondas fault. They were pretty much all convinced of the verdict till old mr Fonda casts doubts all over the place. I'll be honest, I've never been that keen on Henry Fonda, but he is excellent in this sweaty old black and white film. I say sweaty, because they're all sweating their moobs off all the way through it, due to a heatwave and their increased frustration. Every other film or tv drama that is based around the jury of a criminal court case is a direct rip off of this classic film, and none of them do it like this one.

Lacking subtitles

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 6, 2020

Verified Purchase

Whilst I love the film, it’s one of my favourites, the criterion collection bluray has no option to adjust the audio and subtitles menu. The subtitles can be changed but only via my dedicated subtitle button on my bluray player remote control once the film has started. It’s a shame because otherwise the superb extras and included booklet make this release well worth a look. But sadly I cannot in good conscience give this release more then 3 stars because of the appalling oversight of losing subtitles/audio menu on the title screen.

COMPELLING DRAMA

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 5, 2017

Great film from start to finish, well worth my 5 star rating- never boring, with fine direction, and fine performances from Henry Fonda, Lee J. Cobb, Jack Klugman and the rest of the cast. One of my favorite films of Henry Fonda's. Courtroom drama lovers will love this, you won't be disappointed.

Great acting and superb script---but 'bad' OGM message to the public!!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 25, 2016

Verified Purchase

Very well scripted and acted---each actor does his part with excellent dramatic effect! There were two versions, but his, the original, was (and still is) the best!!!
Despite the good script and superb acting by the leading players, one gete the overall feeling that this film may have done immense misjustice to 'real' court-room events where the accused was actually guilty of homicide; and in that sense it is a disturbing film in putting across the "wrong message" that if a juror feels there is a 'easonable cause for doubt' as to the accused's innocene they should acquit him/ her of a heinous crime!!!

A powerful courtroom drama without the court!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 17, 2012

Verified Purchase

There is little I can add to the many review comments already made but would add three observations as to why on seeing this 1957 film for the first time in 2012, I feel it is remains so powerful:

1. The film works so perfectly because it breaks all the rules of such courtroom dramas. In 1957 it must have been truly revolutionary viewing, explaining why four Oscar nominations including Best Picture followed. The claustrophobia of the jury room including its washroom under NY summer heat as the only set locations over 97% of the film are used to great effect.

2. The piece succeeds dramatically not just because it is well scripted (from a predecessor teleplay) but as the title "Twelve Angry Men" infers, from its power of great ensemble and emotional range playing by all the cast and not just a few leads. I would single out Joseph Sweeney as the retired but knowledgable observer and E. G. Marshall as the cool headed logical analyst alongside the already famous or soon to be famous cast in proving that the film works so well because it does not let Henry Fonda or Lee J. Cobb and Ed Begley have all the running time and lines.

3. Finally, given limited sets the creative use of camera positions especially the closing in on faces with different lens at key points shows how keeping it simple can also be very effective.

In answer to why this film does not make more top film lists, I suspect its too theatric style staging leaves many feeling it is not their view of what great cinema is about. It is also interesting that when director Sidney Lumet returned to shoot another courtroom drama later in life ("The Verdict" from 1982 which included Jack Warden again in the cast), he adopted the completely opposite approach to lesser effect as per my Amazon review (http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R4ZZN5KBIMHOW/ref=cm_cr_dp_title?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B0090NAFOO&channel=detail-glance&nodeID=283926&store=dvd)
