Nikita Mikhalkov directed and also plays the jury foreman in this captivating update of the classic courtroom drama “12 Angry Men.” This version is set in contemporary Russia, where a Chechen youth is on trial for killing his adoptive Russian father. Apti Magamayev is mesmerizing as the accused. Mikhalkov co-wrote the screenplay with Vladimir Moiseyenko and Alexander Novostky, who manage to insightfully maintain the original’s powerful themes of racism and prejudice. Sergei Garmash., When a Russian youth is put on trial for the murder of his adoptive father, it’s up to a room full of jurors divided by racism and prejudice to determine the boy’s ultimate fate in director Nikita Mikhalkov’s loose remake of Reginald Rose’s 12 Angry Men. At the center of the storm is a broodingly silent foreman (Mikhalkov). As the deliberation grows increasingly tense, a racist Russian cabbie (Sergei Garmash) attempts to sway the vote of a well-dressed television producer (Yuri Stoyanov) by staging a vivid recreation of a gruesome murder scene; an elderly Jewish man (Valentin Gaft) recovers the nightmares of the Holocaust; and a Caucasus surgeon (Sergei Gazarov) is pushed over the edge by a hateful rant about the brutishness of Chechens. Later, after one soft-spoken juror (Sergei Makovetsky) wins the jury over with a heartfelt monologue about intemperance and redemption, the volatile group struggles to settle on a final verdict.
