What critics compared Juror #2 to
And when the jury retreats to discuss the case, Juror #2 comes to suggest a spin on 12 Angry Men—that is, if Henry Fonda’s humane Juror 8 were secretly the murderer.
The scenes that comprise the jury deliberations bear perhaps too much resemblance to Sydney Lumet’s 1957 classic 12 Angry Men, with only Justin initially opposed to conviction.
Juror #2 sets an incredibly high bar for itself, as a movie that lives in the shadow of 12 Angry Men. However, its struggles to differentiate itself from the Sidney Lumet classic yield intriguing contradictions.
