The 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.
Black and white movies are for boomers and I don’t need to watch this boomer slop, is what I thought before I watched 12 angry men. My naive mind was obliterated because this show was so cinema. It’s one of those stage play type movies where the whole movie is in 1 room, 12 jury men arguing whether a kid is guilty of a crime or not. No hype moment, no impact frames but I was locked in the whole time. I guess when the writing is just that fire, you’d naturally just like it. I'd give this movie an excellent. If you never watch media because it’s old and no colours then I’d say give this a shot.
