Customer Reviews

Guilty or Not Guilty!

Few people know that this is the only movie Henry Fonda produced of all the movies he starred in. The tensions and the dialogue go back and forth between the 12 men until they come to a decision. It shows that whatever we might want to see happen, the law has a way of forcing us to put aside our feelings and follow its mandates to come to a decision about the guilt or innocence of defendants. A great movie.

They showed this when I was on Jury Duty.

Tarrant County Jury Services shows highlights from "12 Angry Men" to impress on you how important it is. However, I have already watched this movie several times. Even though I know the outcome, it is interesting to speculate about the message each juror is trying to express. Of course, just about all of Henry Fonda's performances are exceptional, and in this one, you see him sweat. The real tension in this movie is the interaction between the jurors. Even though you mostly focus on Henry Fonda and Lee J. Cobb, there is not a wasted juror, as you can see from the cast list. There are several similar movies, including a remake, [link=tt0118528]12 Angry Men (1997) [/link]; however, this classic is the standard by which all others are measured.
