Jury of Twelve

This courtroom chamber piece is a clear nod to classic deliberation dramas, but it stands firmly on its own. Robbie Moffat’s tight direction and script make excellent use of the single-location setting, letting character dynamics and moral tension drive the film. What begins as a seemingly straightforward murder case unravels into a layered exploration of bias, fear, and responsibility, sparked by one juror’s refusal to accept easy answers. The pacing is brisk, the dialogue sharp, and the ensemble chemistry keeps the pressure simmering. Produced by Moffat and Rachael Sutherland, the film succeeds as a smart, intimate thriller that invites the audience to interrogate truth as rigorously as the characters do.
