12 Angry Men (1957)


Location: Home
Seen Before: Yes
Rating: 5.0

12 Angry Men is so remarkable that I think it will consistently blow me away every time I watch it, no matter how many times that may add up to be. Besides being packed with actors that are fun, familar faces, they turn out absolutely spectacular performances. Of course director Sidney Lumet is on fire, as well, but the screenplay deserves extra special attention for being able to so expertly weave the facts of the trial and opinions of the jurors throughout. Who knew being stuck in a hot, cramped room for and hour and a half with 12 angry men could be such a roller coaster ride?
