12 Angry Men Reviews

Even though the movie takes place in a single location I didn’t lose interest even once. The characters are absolutely astounding, and would make for the perfect character studies. In just a few minutes I could already tell them all apart as they were so memorable.

9.5/10
As someone who doesn't like old black and white films, I can tell you that this one is totally worth it. The writing and character development is perfect! The best behind closed doors in the history of cinema

Incredible. The characters in this movie were written with incredible depth.

juror #8 aura

If you’re wondering how intense a movie about 12 men talking in a single room can be, this will shock you. A brilliant exploration of preconceived notions, personal biases, and what we think is right or wrong, carried by some of the most powerful performances I’ve ever seen.

Was interesting to see how each character based their opinion on different factors, and how that same factor was used against them when changing their opinions

I had to watch this movie for a business class i had it was honestly pretty interesting for an old film wish it wasn’t black and white but was a unique experience i would recommend it. Juror number 3 was hella annoying lowkey. Acting was great

9.5 - It’s always fun when you can introduce an all time classic to someone for the first time. My wife hadn’t ever seen this and getting her to watch anything this old is a rarity so when she picked it while scrolling options, I couldn’t say no.

It’s still incredible, & still one of the best mise-en-scene examples I’ve seen.

I was a little more bothered on this rewatch at how many of the jurors were as much pushovers in the other direction as they were at the start, changing their minds as easily as they’d made them up in the court room. It amps up some reverse dramatic irony (is that the term?).

Definitely thinking this time the biggest failure here is the part of the lazy, or unmotivated, or unskilled defense lawyer - for sure almost sent that kid to his death.

I think now, with this being my 3rd or 4th watch the tension has dwindled just enough & I wasn’t as gripped as the other viewings. Dropping it slightly in my overall rankings, but still a pure classic through & through.

(SPOILERS!!!) I love love LOVE this movie! I really like how well done the movie shows how every character slowly (and in their own way) give up on thinking the easier way beacuse of their own personal reason and at the end let go of the court and bad lawyer belief. And also the-

The film takes a confined, almost completely banal real-world location and makes it completely dynamic, using incredibly nimble camera movements to establish character motivation and theme.

I can never watch another movie again. Phenomenal. Amazing. Outstanding. Top of its class.

i'v just rewatched it after 3 years and i realized how incredible that movie is, the discussion has that kind of philosophy in deep human nature to every one of them . those who seeks the truth and those who seeks their comfort. loved it . 12/12

First watched this in my high school civics class, and i remember how impressed i became as the movie continued. This should 100% be mandatory viewing for people going into jury duty

Didn’t think I was going to enjoy this as much as I did. It was literally 12 men arguing for 90 minutes, but somehow it stayed interesting the whole time. The characters were cool. They all felt like real people. The ending was a little underwhelming, but still a great movie!

10/10 bombazo pa la historia

What a film this movie feels more like a play with how it’s paced but the dialogue the acting and the story is perfect and you can’t feel its age despite the fact it’s in black and white it’s a must watch if you love film and it is an easy 10/10 MASTERPIECE (22)

Ein Klassiker von 1957 den ich schon wirklich lange einmal nachholen wollte. All in all ein echt spannendes Konzept des Kammerspiels in dem sich die Geschworenen über einen Mord beraten. Es ist überaus spannend, wie sich alle langsam von schuldig zu nicht schuldig wandeln.
