Dbtracing Apr 21 We love the old movies. No profanity, no blood and gore, no nudity. Just a great story with top notch acting. See more Joaquin U @Joaquin1 22h Very entertaining. Aside from a bit of over‑the‑top acting, it’s about as perfect as a film gets. Extraordinary cast, strong direction, and a tight script. A realistic legal drama that never drags. And for those claiming it was set in only one room—wrong. It moves through the courtroom, the jury room, the bathroom, and even outside the building. Just pointing out how easy it is for "witnesses" to get facts wrong. Anyway, enjoy watching; odds are you will.

A young man is about to sent to the electric chair for murder until deep thinking Henry Fonda decides not to make it a unanimous verdict by voting not guilty. Then all hell breaks loose. The sheer tension of the reality of sending a person to their death slowly but surely starts to sink in and then fray on the nerves and torment even the most ardent of guilty voters which is Lee J Cobb. Cobb gives an electrifying, larger than life performance (much like the mob boss in On the Waterfront with Brando) and takes it to the wire as the final jury member to change his mind. Lumet made a masterpiece which is utterly timeless. Spellbinding stuff.

Not to mention the morals and lesson still hold power today. Wish I had watched this masterpiece sooner. See more Harrison C @QwopEX Jun 29 Makes you question your morals by giving “not guilty” a new definition. See more Babatunde Michael A @Teeabod Jun 25 12 Angry Men is seriously the best courtroom drama ever made. It’s wild how a movie set in just one room can keep you glued to the screen the whole time. There are no crazy stunts or special effects, just amazing writing and a bunch of characters clashing with each other. Henry Fonda is incredible as the one guy who actually stops to think before deciding a man’s fate. Watching the jurors battle it out and deal with their own biases is still super relevant today. The dialogue is sharp, the acting is top-tier, and it really makes you think about how easy it is to rush to judgment. Definitely a must-watch classic. See more Read all reviews
