5 stars (Exceptional) Incredible ~dr.strangelove
5 stars (Exceptional) The first film by Sidney Lumet who knows exactly where he is going with this. A jury room drama which would be nothing without its carefully balanced and talented cast. All time classic. ~Anon

4 stars (Very Good) Stagey & melodramatic but a lesson against all-male juries. It got the sweat, the smoking, & the sticking windows right. Some excellent up-close camera work & performances except Fonda as a producer shouldn't have been in the hero role & in a white suit. ~Tubbs
4 stars (Very Good) Very pleasing film. Juror number 3 should try DBT ~Catapillar
