quazar 's review for:

Twelve Angry Men by Reginald Rose
5.0

"One man is dead. The life of another is at stake. I urge you to deliberate honestly and thoughtfully. If this is a reasonable doubt - then you must bring me a verdict of ‘not guilty.'"

Twelve Angry Men is basically 12 men with different agendas sitting in a court room and deciding whether or not a boy knifed his father. There is a bias involved, or should I say, many biases. As it progresses, things get more heated. More people change their minds. There's even some character development. But it's an incredible story about the prejudice and faults within a system that is supposed to be fair for all. I think we can all confidently say that even though it's nearly been 100 years since this play was written, not much has changed. That alone speaks volumes.

"If you want to vote not guilty, do it because you are convinced he is not guilty, not because you’ve had enough."

5 Stars.

...Also. I watched the film like 3 times and still enjoyed it very much.
