1h 35mins

6/10

First time watch

Prejudice – Peer Pressure – Crime drama

When 11 men on a jury believe the convict is guilty of murder and the 12th member goes against the majority, frustrations rise as he gets them to challenge their preconceptions.

I took a little while to settle into this film, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it.

A lot of intentionally irritating characters to highlight stereotypes and to help with the point being made around prejudice. Character led without the need of any fancy tricks or special effects to sell the story.

Great storytelling that all takes place in one room.

I can understand why it is held as a well respected timeless classic.

Would watch again
