I’ve read a great deal about this movie. I want to make it
known that I despise jury duty. I’ve never had great luck with it, so it’s a
personal thing for me. But, saying that, I avoid courtroom movies/shows for the
most part due to my aversion.
In this movie, a jury is deciding the fate of a young man
who is charged with murder. It all seems very straightforward until one man
decides to hold out for a not guilty verdict. That sets into motion a series of
discussions where this one man calmly and logically talks to the others to find
out why they’re voting the way they are and give them the opportunity to change
his mind.
I was impressed by this movie, more by the fact that it’s
practically in the same set for the entire runtime. And it doesn’t get stale.
It really is a great movie, and I hate juries! It’s all the more impressive as
it was the director’s film debut. Good Movie!
