#24: 12 Angry Men

12 Angry Men is a classic, I guess I kind of got away with seeing this one by watching it in my Criminal Justice class. This was way different from any other movie, based on 12 juror's trying to come to a consensus for a murder case. 12 Angry Men was probably one of the cheapest movies to make, since it only takes place in one room the entire movie. Each of the 12 individual characters played a significant role, where some were outright hysterical and others were aggravating to watch but in a good way if you know what I'm trying to say. The whole concept of the film was great, from the directing to the acting. Each actor did a tremendous job playing their specific role. 12 Angry Men is a 1957 classic everyone should most definitely see. We have to credit Reginald Rose and Sidney Lumet awesome screenwriting and directing. To name just a few of the great actors, Lee J. Cobb, E.G. Marshall, Jack Klugman, Jack Warden, Henry Fonda, Ed Begley and much more. These guys did a great job coming together and making a hit movie.

Overall Rating: 8.8/10
