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, "12 Angry Men (1997)"; however, this classic is the rod by which all others are measured.
