100/100The defense and the prosecution have rested and the jury is filing into the jury room to decide if a young Spanish-American is guilty or innocent of murdering his father. What begins as an open and shut case soon becomes a mini-drama of each of the jurors' prejudices and preconceptions about the trial, the accused, and each other.

10This film is truly incredible. Although the majority of this film occurs in one room, there is so much analysis of the judicial system of the time. The fact that these 12 men were on the jury for such a trial was very interesting. It’s very hard to explain the impact of this film on me personally, but I truly believe this is one of the best films I’ve ever seen.

10This movie is fantastic. One of the most engaging and gripping films i have seen all due to the incredible acting, great script and great directing. It hardly changes location and yet is interesting throughout. A big well done to Sidney Lumet for taking a simple concept of 12 men discussing a young mans fate, and turning it into one of the greatest screenplays ever. Would recommend this film to anyone, old or young. 10/10. An absolute classic, and rightly so.

10This film is amazing. Nothing left to say. It leaves you speachless and on the edge of your seat for the whole film. This is a textbook example of what 12 remarkable, gripping actors can do in 1 one. The plot and storyline is simple yet extremely effective. The fact that it's 12 people talking about a murder can be so entertaining is beyond me. They seriously won't or don't make films like this anymore and god I wish they did. Great quality of sound and cinematography aswell. I watched on blu Ray so maybe this helped a bit. Wya ahead of its time. Captivating, intriguing and interesting. Not a boring scene in the whole film and i never lost focus once. - 10/10

8An old one but a classic, it's interesting how everything changes and how they get your perspective to change a bit as the movie progresses

9If you want to know what a good script and top notch acting can do within a confined boundery of a room, this is it. This movie will get to your nerve. Cult classic thriller movie, never gets old.

8A fantastic look and both the dark and light of human character. It really holds up a mirror to a lot of our prejudices and keeps you thinking. It should be required watching for all those going in to jury duty!
