Review of The Juror

The Juror (2019)
Enjoyable watch but less gripping than 12 Angry Men
18 January 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Juror 8 is, in many ways, a Korean take on 12 Angry Men. Juror 8 is the juror in 12 Angry Men that went against the grain and encouraged the other jurors to reconsider their guilty verdicts. The eight (and final) member of the jury in this movie is also the individual asking others to reassess their decision.

The main character, played by Park Hyung-sik, is a likable and inquisitive young man who we get to witness grow throughout the movie - going from a clueless citizen (regarding his knowledge about the law) to a heroic juror responsible for delivering a non-guilty verdict to the chief justice.

A recommended watch if you have already seen 12 Angry Men but if prioritize watching 12 Angry Men first you haven't already seen it.
