Like the other comments say - a wonderful movie. Everything is first class - screenplay, actors and, of course, the direction.
This was one of the first Lumet's movies I have seen and I was amazed. From then (it was in the '70s) I have seen his 19 films and he never let me down. The list of his really great films is extremely long (maybe nobody in America's movie history made so many excellent films): 12 Angry Men, The Fugitive Kind, The Hill, The Pawnbroker, The Seagull, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, Equus, Network, The Verdict... and this Braverman. Not to mention that I haven't seen some of his reportedly good ones, too.
I highly recommend this and other mentioned films of this great director. (Still wondering why he hasn't got any Oscars for his work - maybe his films are far too intelligent for American taste, LOL).
Thank you, Mr. Lumet. It was my pleasure! 9/10
