Review of 12 Angry Men (1957) by Sumit S — 09 Nov 2012
Sidney Lumet's directional debut has all the essential ingredients to make 12 Angry Men a timeless classic. Almost completely filmed in a single room with 12 distinct characters in a debate, each giving a powerful performance, 12 Angry Men makes a powerful & unforgettable impact bringing tension just by its words & expressions.
The character development of all 12 cast is very well done with Henry Fonda & Lee J. Cobb standing out. Its a must watch for everyone. Despite being in a single room with 12 jurors throughout the runtime, 12 Angry Men manages to create tension, suspense with panache & is highly entertaining as well.
An all time masterpiece that has aged like wine & will continue to do so for a long long time.
