Twelve jurors deliberate in Moscow.
Sinekatalog’s take
Nikita Mikhalkov's Russian remake of 12 Angry Men moves the jury to a school gym and adds Chechen war echoes. Strongly acted and gripping, it is lengthy but powerful as a moral drama.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
