Director Nikita Mikhalkov doesn't just remake Twelve Angry Men, he takes it on. He tackles it. He puts it in a headlock and makes it say "Uncle!"
Never liked 12 Angry Men that much it was at least a deent flick this one is just another awful remake & what's with that ridiculous ending
A Russian remake of 12 Angry Men, it is emotionally enthralling and heart-wrenching almost more so than the original. I felt every actor in this film presented the role of their lifetime. In America, this would have been another record setting award winner.
russina version of the movie 12 angry men like kurasawa's seven samuari this one translates well though it loses some of the clausterphobic closeness of the original. u know there r alot of movies with numbers as the title: 81/2,9,10,12,23 to name just a few.
I've never seen 12 Angry Men, but this Russian remake was most likely much better! I really quite liked it.
This Russian remake of the perfect "12 Angry Men" is more perfect. It hits most (or at least touches upon) all the same prospects as the original, so there aren't too many surprises in that respect, but this movie gives us glimpses of the accused boy's life via flashbacks and nig... read more
Excellent Russian version of "12 Angry Men", but it lacks the claustrophobic intensity of that film, which remains superior. Very well acted, good writing - the story is a fascinating one.

A fascinating, stylish commentary on Russian justice and the universality of prejudice set in that great crucible for great drama in the jury room. Full Review
Full of passion and speechifying, 12 is unmistakably Russian in spirit and sensibility, but its themes are universal at their core. Full Review
The heated deliberations are a gripping analogy for Russia's turbulent mix of ethnic divisions, corruption, Western influences and idealism. Full Review
The tradition of Russian stage acting enriches this satisfying update of Reginald Rose's TV play Twelve Angry Men. Full Review
A powerful new film inspired by a powerful older one. Full Review
After weathering the characters' windbaggery for nearly three hours, it's hard not to feel like Mikhalkov's done the same to viewers of 12. Full Review
In the end the film is too much of a piece with its topic, intensely fascinating yet seriously flawed. Full Review
