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.

It got me whole the movie. tho i thought it would be boring, i had diffrent emotions while watching AND i learned something new! it wasnt just spending time to enjoy. definitely worths to watch

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.

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.
