 Rating:  - Nice effort, but doesn't stand up to the originalI really don't think a masterpiece like 12 ANGRY MEN needs a remake. This remake of the classic 1957 film makes many good efforts, but falls short in many points. First of all, I think Scott is excellent, and could stand serious comparison with Cobb in the original. (Alright, maybe his final monologue isn't quite as cyclonic as Cobb's, but perhaps Scott was wise in not trying to emulate that.) Many of the other actors are also very good. But some of the actors miss the mark on their characterizations. Olmos' watchmaker is a confused mess. (Who is he? Where is he from? What is his social class?) Gandolfini's Juror # 6 is surly and disagreeable, unlike Edward Binns' kindly original. The actor playing Juror # 5 is too confident and bold; in the ...

My mother got summoned to jury duty a few months later and she would come home pissed off that she had to do this boring civil duty. so one night she stopped by BLOCKBUSTER VIDEO and rented the new version of 12 Angry Men and it blew us away. We still watch this video at least two times a week, Because it's hilarious, and refreshing to see the diversity in the cast (mainly due to a 40 year time time difference in the two movies) . At the same time it makes you think. I love all the performances by these fantastic actors. Especially those of Mykelti Milliamson, and George C. Scott, potraying the angriest jurors of all. I love when people ... Read More: Rating: - Very good!Excellent remake, I think this one is better than the original. George C. Scott and Jack Lemmon are at their absolute best. Highly recommended. Rating: - A Captivating Made-For-Cable RemakeAlthough, the original will always remain a classic, the updated version is a breath of fresh air. I especially enjoyed Tony Danza's realistic, character portrayal of a juror who, for most of the deliberation, seems to be more concerned about being late for a baseball game, later that day, than the outcome of the case, despite the fact, there's a possible death penalty involved. Jack Lemmon's character is just the opposite; a man so deeply concerned about the case, he manages to delve into the psyches of the other jurors to help them understand the concept of "reasonable doubt". The script was designed, such that, each juror involved has a unique personality; be it strong or passive, and sometimes crossing the line back and forth, as varying evidence ... Read More: Rating: - 12 Angry Men - Then and nowDynamics, Dynamics, Dynamics! Can anyone imagine a more powerful instrument in making a great movie? After watching the original of 12 Angry Men in the theater (this really dates me!), I have enjoyed it several times over the years. So it was with scepticism that I watched the remake to this wonderful film. Great cast, directing and production, but what about the end resuslt. Success! There is no comparing the two productions. Jack Lemmon's intensity is not to be stacked up against the aloofness of Henry Fonda. All of the roles should be looked at in this light. A Lexus versus a BMW. Both get you there in style! |
