Review of 12 Angry Men

One of my all time favourite films.

A black and white classic, there's no action, no change of scenery, no real plot. Just twelve angry anonymous jurors locked in a jury room who must argue the fate of a young boy accused of murdering his father. No action....plenty of drama.

Henry Fonda, the lone juror who wants to vote not guilty slowly works his arguments, persuading, convincing, badgering and inspiring people to his point of view.

This film is actually used at the University of Bath in management courses to show how group dynamics can work. But don't let that put you off...it's so entertaining that last time I was there half the year gatecrashed the lecture to watch it.

9/10
