12 angry men
Action Drama Comedy are you guilty of being excited? Because i am. The movie 12 Angry Men was amazing even though it was produced with only a 1.75 million dollar budget in 1997 ($2787606.55 in today’s money). Now let me tell you this, If you are looking for a movie that is 100% accurate to what a jury room would be then this isn't the movie for you. Let me explain, the movie focuses on the jury of a murder case. They are tasked with determining that the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
This movie was created by MGMTV. It was a new adaptation on the 1957 movie 12 angry men. The main characters in the movie are juror number 3 (George scott) and juror number 7 (Tony Danza). We will come back to these two later. This movie was set in a chicago courthouse. Mainly in the jury room.
Now that we have all the background stuff out of the way, we can focus on the parts that matter. First let's start with the main conflict. The whole jury agrees that the defendant is guilty. Well all except juror number 7. He too thinks that the defendant is guilty but he doesnt think he is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. So they go back and forth for a while. In a while, they figure out the holdout is only holding out because he doesn't have a good relationship with his son. In the end, he has a total breakdown and decides that he will go with the common vote even though he was so against the vote. Now I know that some of you may be asking what was the final verdict: Well let me tell you. Oh wait you have to watch the movie and find out for yourself.
In the end have to say that if you are looking for a good lighthearted movie with a good story then this is the movie you want to see.
