See, I know what you’re thinking – this movie’s ancient (And PLEASE don’t mention the recent apalling remake :()
Well I didn’t see this at the cinema. I live near Edinburgh, and every year there is an arts festival, and I barely ever see anything. Well this time some friends and I made the effort to go and see 12 Angry Men. If you haven’t seen the original movie, this review won’t make much sense.
It was really well played. There were was one particular weak performance, but that was a minor one. Everything else was excellent, the only problem was the audience. Stephen Frost was playing “the one with the son” and was terrific. You could just see the anger flowing out of him. Excep that some people obviously couldn’t. He is best known for comedy, but this was not played for laughs, and peopel were laughing at the most inappropriate times. that was what annoyed me the most. But the show was well worth seeing.
