When the news broke out that a young man coming from a rich adopted family murdered his biological father, the controversy around the case hit a nerve with the public at large. An experimental court session is held in a law school to discuss this curious case. During the process of this court session, 12 Chinese people from different walks of life gather together and discuss the case as a jury on a hot summer day. Through intricate questions, the case which seemed clear at first turns out to be not that clear after all. (Source: MyDramaList) ~~ Remake of the American movie "12 Angry Men" [1957].

Like reading a book in 2 hours
I have no words to define how satisfactory this movie was to watch, I wasn't expecting much and it ended up surprising me for good.Everything is so well executed, from the script to the acting, even the tense music was somehow good enough. I could understand each one of the characters and how they felt at every moment of pressure, their reasoning, their breakdowns. It was like reading a good book in one evening cause it was too good to leave it for another time.
Story: From the beginning to the resolution everything it's perfectly calculated for the spectator never leaving the screen, you never know who's gonna change their mind next.
Acting: Amazing, each actor portraited such unique characters with so many different emotions and thoughts on the case.
Music: Probably the blandest part of the movie, but not for bad, it's just that there's barely any sound or relative music though the whole movie other than the typical tautness music.
Rewatch Value: Would watch it again on a free evening, especially with family or friends.
Overall: I recommend watching this movie if you like the conflict resolution and human emotions being shown.
