The film transforms Rose's play into a ballet of sorts. The story is as much about movement as it is about words.
Dan Zak, Washington Post
Overview
A loose remake of “12 Angry Men”, “12” is set in contemporary Moscow where 12 very different men must unanimously decide the fate of a young Chechen accused of murdering his step-father, a Russian army officer. Consigned to a makeshift jury room in a school gymnasium, one by one each man takes center stage to confront, connect, and confess while the accused awaits a verdict and revisits his heartbreaking journey through war in flashbacks.

Those who seek a drama as provocative as it is captivating will find much to enjoy.
Calvin Wilson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Fresh
A fascinating, stylish commentary on Russian justice and the universality of prejudice set in that great crucible for great drama in the jury room.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Fresh
Full of passion and speechifying, 12 is unmistakably Russian in spirit and sensibility, but its themes are universal at their core.
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Fresh
The heated deliberations are a gripping analogy for Russia's turbulent mix of ethnic divisions, corruption, Western influences and idealism.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
