Title: Great Drama!
Product review: Question: How can 12 ANGRY MEN be such an exciting and compelling movie when it has only twelve characters, one set, a relatively brief running time, and little physical action? Answer: Because it has a deftly written script and superb acting by the entire cast. I won't summarize the story, as you probably know it already. Let me just say that each actor is perfect in his role, but that the great Lee J. Cobb truly stands out as the juror who, by repeatedly voting "guilty," is really trying to punish his own son, who abandoned him. As explosive as Cobb's performance is, I cried at the end when he suddenly breaks down weeping and says, "Not guilty." One feels that Cobb's character is finally "cleansing" himself of the pain that he has suppressed for years. This is just one of countless memorable moments in this brilliantly written, directed, and acted film. 12 ANGRY MEN is a great drama from start to finish. You MUST see it.
