Preview: 12 (2009)

Synopsis:

Twelve jurors must decide the fate of a Chechen youth charged with the murder of his stepfather, a case thought to be open-and-shut, but which is held up by one juror who believes the teen may be innocent.

• Poster: C

Review:

Hopefully the birds flying out of a juror's head have some bearing on the film's plot. Otherwise, it seems like a waste. Monochromic design is starting to wear thin.

• Trailer: B

Review:

The two version of 12 Angry Men I've seen (film and television) were both rather riveting. This looks to be little different in terms of theme, but adding in the world political relevance adds a bit of intrigue.

Oscar Prospects:

It was already nominated at the 2007 awards.

Release Date:

• March 4, 2009
