From the very first scenes showing the judge as bored and uninterested we know it's up to the jury to get this right. With a boys life on the line the intensity gets cranked up and the viewer gets drawn right into the case. The acting is flat out superb creating a very real atmosphere inside the room. What starts off being a case against someone else gets flipped on it's head as some of the jurors are almost put on trial to explain their prejudice and beliefs. It is here that the film explores the key issue of what people bring with them as a juror, it's not all about facts. It's almost a crime to try and review this film in short form, it literally is one of the finest films ever made. Put yourself on trial, you'll be surprised.
