Movie Info

A jury argues a case in a stuffy room on a hot summer's day. Eleven say "guilty!" But one holdout (Jack Lemmon) is convinced of the defendant's innocence and stubbornly argues "reasonable doubt."

Not nearly as good as the original, but still an incredible film.

The story that really grips you, and you cannot watch this Movie for long without starting to feel you are also there in that room, a part of the discussion, and not just watching a movie.How true!

Even though it's a remake I think it's as strong as the original movie. The cast works great in this flick and brings the movie to life.
