12 characters - 12 truths. The story of 12 Jurors discussing a verdict to pass on an 18 year-old Chechen boy whether he is guilty of the 1st degree murder of his step-father - an officer of the Russian army. The film thinks aloud about today's life, about the need to hear the next of kin and help that person before its too late. The action of the picture unveils in one room - a gym adjusted for jury deliberations.

Critics Consensus: Loosely based on 1957's 12 Angry Men, Nikita Mikhalkov's superbly acted 12 is clever and gripping like its predecessor, but with a distinctly Russian feel.

Richard Propes

A powerful and beautiful film that matters.

You feel the performances. You feel the emotional power. You feel.

Mighty performances keep the film engrossing even as the movie's runtime crosses the 2 1/2-hour mark.

Film Comment Magazine

Nicolas Rapold

Old soul Nikita Mikhalkov's appropriation of the 12 Angry Men template is a bloated series of harangues that feels too long even before its full 154 minutes have shuffled by.
