Review of 12 Angry Men (1957) by Jon P — 23 Jun 2013
Examining the impact both conscious and subconscious prejudice can have on the human psyche, Sidney Lumet's 1957 classic offers a stunning insight into doubt, ignorance and the laziness of opinion.
12 Angry Men is a masterwork of both direction and narrative; Lumet's editing and cinematography mirroring the enveloping nature of Reginald Rose's mind-probing play, a work which, to this day, remains switchblade-sharp.
Smart, stylish and superbly casted, this tense jury room drama is an unparalleled character study of the silver screen.
