re-make of the American classic...12 Angry Men. Adapted for Russian culture and prejudices.
A strange project...although the core underlying themes are universal. But the mannerisms of the players here were over-egged and annoying. Plus the hero/saint was a pale imitation of Henry Fonda. Direction and camera movement were up to snuff but I found the constant comparisons going on in my mind very distracting.
Maybe if I hadn't just seen the original six months ago...
