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." This... read more read more... tense courtroom drama is a remake of Sidney Lumet's 1957 favorite and was produced for the Showtime cable network. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

    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.

    I was bored of this at first as I wasn't really sure where it was going, but once it started I really started getting into it. Mystery's and the like generally annoy me, but this was really enjoyable and I liked how although the other 11 blokes were bias towards the black dude ha... read moreving done it, but Henry Fonda gives them all a slap in the face and they see the facts rather than the guy. Meh, I liked it.

    Right up there among my all time fave movies. Outstanding cast, an all star cast really, lead by Henry Fonda. Beautifully written and wonderfully acted. A very good example I think of how the movies that rely on the spoken word can be more suspenseful and engrossing to watch then... read more a lot of the action movies they make nowadays.

    Not as good as the Lumet film, the Lumet version is THE standard for this story, and filmmaking in general.

    What a film- I loved the original much more, but this was not bad. Love Tony Danza as the baseball fan.

    Watch It... if you want to see a competent remake of the 1957 classic in modern updated form.

    Avoid It... if you expect any of the subtlety of the original version, or if you seek performances of similar caliber.
