Review of 12 Angry Men (1957) by Lucas D — 09 Jun 2014

This is the greatest film of all time. And I know that because it is a film you cannot spoil. I knew how it ended, but this film revealed that sometimes, it doesn't matter what happens, but *how* it happens. SPOILER: How could these 11 men be convinced? And all those peculiar characters of such different intensities and backgrounds? HOW? That's what floored me, the sheer ambiguity and subtlety and POWER of the writing, and of the performances...I was as involved with the action as if I were in the room with them. SPOILER ENDS.

This is the supreme work of cinematic art. Life, there is nothing more you can offer me. It's been a great run, thanks a lot.
