Review of 12 Angry Men (1957) by Samy A — 14 Jul 2012
A masterpiece which defies all odds in what it accomplishes. 89 minutes spent in the same room and not once do you find yourself bored or fidgety. In it's mid-1950s setting, it manages to highlight the injustice of racial profiling and discrimination in countless ways through juror #10 and #7, and their interactions with #5 and #11, one of whom comes from the slums and the other of whom was not born in the states (he is implied to be of eastern-European descent).
Far ahead of its time, fitted with perfect wit and defying all pre-established concepts of truth through which it achieves a sense of perfect honesty with itself and with the audience.
