12 - Kenji - 08-31-2008
Today I saw "12".
"12" is Russian movie. I guess everybody saw "12 Angry Men". Well, I'm talking about film of a remake of Sidney Lumet's "12 Angry Men". Yeah, it's another remake movie. But!!!...
But it was really good IMHO! Original was young Spanish-American is guilty or innocent of murdering his father, so 12 men gathered in jury room. Well, we know that ending, of course.
But this remake version is a little bit different. This Russian version moves the situations from the U.S. to Russia, and replaced the original murder suspect with a Chechen teenage boy accused of murdering his foster parent, a Russian officer.
If you like original, I highly recommend this. This is not simple remake. Story is very dramatic.

[SIZE="1"]The ending is totally different than original. It didn't simply divide black and white. The decision was grey in ethnic conflict between Checen and Russia.
It was political than original.[/SIZE]
