Twelve Angry Men

Film Description

Remarkably, for all its staginess, 12 Angry Men works superbly as cinema. Lumet, directing his first film, masterfully builds the claustrophobic tension in the jury room into a series of human explosions; his genius with the actors cleverly exposes the layers of hatred and regret that lies underneath their neat, professional facades. Watching Henry Fonda, the crusading juror steeped in 50s liberalism, slowly break down the prejudices of his co-jurors is still emotionally bracing. Adapted from his own TV play by Reginald Rose.
