Juror #2
I don’t know why people let this one fall off the radar it’s like a brilliant unofficial remake of 12 angry men like it begins with one of the jurors disagreeing with the guilty verdict and gradually more become convinced but it has a much different outcome and what I like more about this movie though is that there’s a lot more happening outside of the courtroom which usually can’t be said about other courtroom dramas atleast from what I’ve seen
And the best quality this movie has is you can really feel the anxiety that juror #2 is experiencing even though he was barely ever considered a suspect
I also really like the moral dilemma like you had to sit with the idea on who deserves the punishment for this death when there is really no correct answer which is also something that the main character had to question aswell so you’re like experiencing the emotions he has to be put through but I will argue that the boyfriend being wrongfully convicted was worth it because he already had gang ties and he evidently was a bad boyfriend to her like why would I root for a domestically abusive ex convict when that juror has a wife and baby waiting for him at home
