12 Angry Men 1957
Rewatched Jun 16, 2012
Josh’s review:
It's alright but has some flaws.
• Having a moment saying "if nobody says not guilty then we won't discuss this anymore" played for tension 20 minutes into the movie is moronic.
• Every point made about dissecting a piece of evidence was laborious
• I tried to see if there was any symbolism in the rain and when they turned the fan on but I couldn't see any.
• Some of the men were borderline caricatures.
It's still entertaining to see the characters interact with eachother and pick apart a murder case but I can't look at it any deeper. I'd like to see a remake done more subtly and with a new case.
Comment?
