I watched this movie without any expectations but it was a huge surprise, everything about it was enjoyable, the most important part it delivered all kind of emotions from laughter to tears to anger... it's really a well made movie and a must watch indeed
And another grt korean movie
Puts UK to shame my local cinemas r showing
Rubbish like Kursk but WILL NOT show Asia movies
Annoying
I watched this movie with zero expectations, solely because of Hyun Sik. The story was generally okay from start to 3/4, where it was I think Korea's first court with juries, hence it was an important one. & while everyone was already convinced who to vote, Hyunsik wanted to make sure he's 100% confident with his vote so they dug deeper.
BUT i think the major game changer of this movie was at the end. I didn't expect to bawl my eyes out like crAZY, it really taught me a lot and knowing that it was based on a true story made it even more emotional.

This film started from a such a simple form of story which matured into a heart touching one. It truly portrayed the hidden emotions and the thirst for good and just in everyday people like us. It showed that just a little will of a person can make someone's life worthwhile. This film will be with me for a really long time. I am truly in love with the makers and the brilliant actors for portraying such brilliant performances. Thank you.

Completely different from most Korean thrillers. The plot in 80% refers to the masterpiece "12 Angry Man" from 1957.
However, it is different - the scenery has been expanded outside the jury room. The movie is interesting and worth watching

There are certain things that I thought are completely impossible.
First - for any mass to travel faster than the speed of light, you know, the famous equation E=MC2 sort-of proves it.
Second - to create a film either based on or inspired by the original "12 Angry Men."
( If you have not watched the original, drop whatever you are doing, watch the original. Re-watch it 15-20 times over the course of 10 years. Come back and watch Juror 8 for maximum effect )
Unfortunately, it would seem to me, that I have now been proven wrong on at least one of the two impossibilities.
To this day, I felt that any director who even thinks of attempting to re-create 12 Angry men, must be clinically insane and is willing to bet his career on the impossible (Such as the Russian "12", which is horrible. Don't waste your time).
However, not only did the director of Juror 8 beautifully re-capture the magic of the original, but he also added his own spice - humor, localization of the motives, storyline, and much more. As a result, I feel that Juror 8 is a masterpiece in its own right.
To the director: I love you and I hate you for making me both cry and laugh at the same time. However, and more importantly, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting me re-experience the beauty of watching 12 Angry Men afresh. After 15+ times, it just wasn't the same anymore, and I could never capture that first original screening. Today, I have.

Great movie. The plot is predictable but it is always fun to watch when people do the right thing.
A juror can't decide. Therefore, he starts investigating the case. As more and more questions arise, other jurors start following him to reveal the truth.
It has funny moments as well as sad and happy moments. Watch it with your loved ones and hope you'll feel inspired to find and seed fairness in this world.

The Juror is an adaptation of the 1957 movie 12 Angry Men, applying the role of the jury to the South Korean context. Set in 2008, it depicted the first ever jury trial in South Korea. Through the eyes of the main protagonist, Juror 8, the audience follows as he traverses a series of negotiations with different stakeholders, all of whom have different motivations, interests, and come from different positions in life.
The Juror is a caution to the fallibility of human nature, where everyone is vested in their own self-interest. Even the Judge, who is supposed to be impartial, has motive to get promoted to High Court. Even Juror 8, the main voice of reason, only uncovered deeper truths about the defendant while trying to submit his self-defence product for his own interest. The Juror is a critique of the use of a jury in court: there is too much disconnect between the jury and the defendant; the jury cannot understand the defendant on a personal level. In reality, the jury has pre-trial bias and this creates premature judgement, as pointed out in Fisher's "Getting To Yes". The Juror also portrays a cut-throat court scene, where public and internal pressure lock judge and jury into fixed positions. Yet, the Juror also imagines an ideal world with a jury that practices principled negotiation, proposing options that put people's interests first, under objective criteria. The Juror's gets us thinking about the jury and society in the real world, making it a must watch.

Entertaining and easy to follow, this Korean version of 12 Angry Men is a watchable court room drama and not as dry as the original western stage play. It's a universal story in countries with juries. Cleverly incorporating the first jury trial in Korea. Park Hyung Sik is likeable and earnest enough as the sole dissenting juror and it's from his POV that we see the trial.

The starting was a joke, so lousy. As continue, so much bad lousy storyline goes on so I say this losuy director and lousy writer. I monitored and the actors were badly acted, not performing at all. So why some are nominated? Is it government or some bosses involvement again?
The whole movie to near 20 minutes was all crap and so badly made. The script, the story, the effects, the character, and even no common sense or logic. Does Korean government court behave so monkey and no security? So illogical and no common sense director and writer. This is one of the worse Korean movie that I saw in 2020. The last 20 minutes, I though there is a turn but it lasted only 10 minutes, then again all nonsenses surface again to the end of the movie. Overall, I give this movie a NO NO to watch even its free and you have nothing to do. Its just not worth to waste time on when there are bunch of good movies and dramas everywhere in 2020. I regretted spending time on such a lousy made movie.

A very heartwarming, family-oriented movie! The cast are well-selected and they acted out their roles perfectly!
At curtain call, maybe, no eyes are dry in the audience! 😅
Very beautiful, indeed! Like the others in the movie, Park Hyung Sik gave an amazing and outstanding performance!😄
Just brilliant; the perfect film: writing, direction, and acting are all superb. I sat mesmerized by the layering of narrative, peeling back each until we get to the outcome. I'm thrilled for "Parasite" and all its awards, but there are dozens of great Korean films as good as "Parasite." This is one of them. Strongly recommended.

I watched this movie for an assignment but ended up genuinely liking the movie! The dilemma that each character faced, the complexity of how the issue at hand is being held and the not so straightforward roles and relationship of each characters with each other are very well portrayed. How the characters negotiate and communicate with each other was also very clear to what the character's represent, and the pacing of the movie is very good. The issue at hand is in essence heavy, but the director also well in put in lighter conversations between some of the characters, which made the movie also more manageable to watch.

Apart from the topic of negotiations, the movie also talks about the importance of strategic communicating, and how cognitive biases could get in the way of making decisions for the betterment of the group/individual. Many scenes show how people of different education levels / societal status are all equally exposed to cognitive biases, and how those can influence anyone to make immoral or emotional decisions. Personally, scenes with empathetic negotiations (surprisingly) seemed effective to me, as valuing emotions and validating their concerns feels like an inclusive and ethical approach that brought out cooperative sides of different characters. It is really cool that the movie is based on a real case!

Juror 8 is not only a poignant work of entertainment, but also an accurate depiction of real-life negotiation principles. The film centres on a vaguely-presented incident where a man was suspected of killing his mother. Consequently, eight jurors were appointed to deliberate on the case and decide an appropriate judgment for the suspect.
As the title suggests, the "Juror 8" stands out as the driving force of principled negotiation in the plot, but also because of Park Hyung-Sik's solid portrayal of the earnest and tenacious character who never gave up on inventing possible solutions to the mystery and inspiring the other jurors to do likewise. While the movie gets off to a rough and laughable start, please sit through the first arc and be prepared to be awed by an exhilirating yet emotional storyline with twists in every other scene and a message of hope delivered to the hearts of audience.
