    Sorry but from someone who tried to watch it for the first time two years ago and likes that kind of stuff it's not aged well.

    Let the hate begin.

    12 Angry Men is pretty good. I was not expecting it to be but it surprised me.

    @skuzzbag

    I think it's one of the 80's (action) films which aged rather well.
    Apart from it being a bit slow (including camera work) I find it still very modern. Good script. Good story telling. And almost no 80's cheese humour.

    Actually I take that back. Because modern (action) films don't have a good script or good story telling.
