Great ensemble; good script, and fine acting, especially by the fine black actor playing the racist black Muslim. Mykelti Williamson, which appeared to me to be the most difficult role of the 12. There are some fine moments in the remake; however, we are always aware that it is a REMAKE. And if you saw the original, as I have, you just won't have the suspense that the original had. And even if you have not seen the original, you kind of get the feeling that the jurors are going to be convinced to change their votes early on in the film; it is just an exercise on WHY thye will change. William Peterson, of Das Boot fame is miscast here, but all of the others are fine. Worth viewing.
