It's also possible for a lawyer to be just plain stupid, isn't it? I mean it's possible.
1957 Sidney Lumet
It's a classic. 12 members of a jury retired to consider the verdict, 11 say he's guilty, 1 says he's not.
The whole film is set in the room, as it was in the play. It looks like a foregone conclusion, a young hispanic american accused of murder, but Juror 8 doesn't think so and starts the conversations that expose their prejudices and preconceptions about the trial, the accused, and each other.
If you haven't seen it, like I hadn't, it's worth a watch. Terminator it aint.
7.5/10
