The greatest ensemble cast of all time. An amazing cinematic experience. A breath of fresh air to watch a movie that relies on the acting ability of its performers instead of mindless special effects co-ordinators.

One of the best movies ever made. It takes place in 1 room, so it relies on a story and characters, not special effects.

If you ever want to see amovie where nothing matters except the sheer brilliant acting of some of the best character actors to come out of hollywood. Then this is the movie to see. Nothing to see except twelve men in a Jury room deliberating a murder case. If you haven't seen this movie, shame on you. Go rent it NOW!!!

What a great movie! The entire movie, except for 3 minutes of it, takes place in one room. Think it might be boring? Think again! With such a great cast and believable characters, this movie demonstrates how each person's life experiences affects the way he/she acts and thinks. Is the suspect guilty or not guilty? Well I guess you'll have to enter the jury room and make up your own mind.

Anyone who loves courtroom drama should see this classic. The courtroom is never seen but the drama and tension exceeds any Law & Order episode.

Hollywood has proved more than once that putting a bunch of high priced stars together DOES NOT guarantee success. This, however is NOT one of those cases. It is in fact one of those gems in which everything works. The story is the key but this cast really pulls it off. Even if you know the ending you really feel dragged though the process (this is a good thing) just to get there. There are several young actors who go on to bigger roles in later years and really give there all here. You can feel the heat just watching the film; feel the tension and want to jump up and punch someone because of what you see.

This is a masterpiece. Well written. Top notch actors. It draws you into the situation unlike current movies and like only a few movies in earlier decades. A must see for all who enjoy film. The 12 men represent 12 different character types that you will run into and perhaps have to deal with in real life. As a side note, several businesses have used this film in leadership seminars.

Hello Officer, This is a an excellent movie. This movie is about life and human beings. The facts apply even today. Although, education level of our society is increasing, cultural differences and our prejuduces haven't advanced as it should be. Acting and crew is excellent. Everyone should bring their teenagers to see this movie. Thank you in advance for your time and attention [...]

It did not cost much money, but it has a very good idea to say. It also shows that one man can change every thing.

[ATTENTION: This review reveals content of the movie.]
12 Angry Men is a movie that took big risks and made a big impact without using a massive budget or shock value to do so. It was a very simple theme that, when put into use, was a massive success. Twelve jurors are seated in a room to discuss whether an eighteen year old boy accused of murdering his father is really guilty or not. Eleven of them firmly believe that this boy is guilty, while one of them (Henry Fonda) has a doubt in his mind. Im not saying that hes not guilty
I just think we should talk it out, the man says simply. The eleven others become aggravated with him, saying that he is wasting their time and that nothing will be accomplished by this discussion. The men agree that they should talk it out and that is what they do. For ninety minutes, we see twelve men talking out whether somebody is guilty or not. This could have very easily been one of the dullest films ever made, if not carried out correctly. But because of Lumets and Reginald Roses brilliant script and the impeccable actors, it is amazingly intriguing. The film goes beyond the case and goes into why the men think the boy is or isnt guilty, and the case becomes a basis for character study. None of the men are unrealistic. There arent heroes and villains here. What we are given is a group of men the type of which we see every day put under a situation of high pressure. The basic concept of sticking people from opposite ends of opinion and values into a closed parameter has been used by many of todays great directors. In The Breakfast Club (1985), John Hughes stuck five high school students from different cliques in a library for a Saturday detention. In Michael Manns Collateral (2004), a cab driver picks up a contract killer as his fare. This movie made a big impact by going for a different sort of subtlety. The action in this film lies not in suspense and thrills, but in dialogue. The character work in itself is what makes the movie so brilliant, but there is also an ingeniously thought out court case with unnoticed subtleties to take into account. The case the men are given seems blatantly obvious: the boy seems undeniably guilty. But as the movie progresses, different flaws to the case are pointed out and Fondas character changes the views of the jurors. 12 Angry Men stands on its own as one of films finest. It is a movie that has stood the test of time and will continue to stand it for years to come..
