This movie deserves to be on anyone's list of top films. My problem is that it is so perfect, so seamlessly polished, it is hard to appreciate the individual excellences.
The acting is top notch. The writing is snappy too. It is easy to be mesmerized by this writing and acting, and miss the rare accomplishment of the camera-work. This camera is so fluid; you forget you are in one room. It moves from being a human observer, to being omniscient, to being a target. It is smart enough to seldom center on the element of most importance, so expands the field to all men.

I am simply amazed how genial is the plot of the movie, i always thought that this movie is a masterpiece of a psychological genre of the cinema. And i was amazed by every single move in it. And in reality, i can say that the scenario to this movie has been written by a genius. Who knows the psychology of people very well, and who discovered the image of a person. It was very interesting to watch it without special effects. This kind of movies are very much advertised, so everyone can see them and imagine himself as one of those people who gathered there. It is a deep movie about the essence of life, and i wish there were more of this kind.After watching this movie i remembered that due to persistence and logic of the court members, the young man was able to escape prison. And only one person was able to change their mind, that brought them to hours of discussions upon the evidences. all the act is in one place, and it is very interesting to watch how the events are developing.

After watching this movie i remembered a scene from Lord of the rings movie, the dialogue between Frodo and Gandalf, when Frodo was discussing Gollum and mentioned that he deserves to die. And Gandalf has answered him that a lot of us deserve to die, and a lot of those who died deserve to live. Can you return it to them? No, in this case do not rush with sentence to death!
The same situation is being developed in this movie, there are twelve absolutely different man who need to decide the fate of a young man who is guilt for killing his father. Eleven consider him to be innocent and only one of them is having doubts about it. He doesn’t know the answer and he offers to discuss and think about it carefully from the beginning to the ned, while everyone else do not want it, they hate the heat and have plans for the evening. I think it is terrible how people can be sometimes, no soul at all, and thinking only about themselves. I suggest everyone to see this movie, in order to learn not to judge someone.
