The Twelve review: How do you keep jurors off their smartphones? Lock them all up! writes CHRISTOPHER STEVENS


CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Take away the smartphone of anyone under 40 and you might as well cut off their oxygen supply. Most can't get through a meal without constantly scrolling.

Recent mysteries such as the disappearance of the late Nicola Bulley, not to mention the sickening conspiracy theories around the illness of the Princess of Wales, show how crazed this has become. That's just one of the issues threatening to derail justice in this decidedly adult tale, with a full-on sex scene every few minutes and endless foul language, even between barristers in court. Most vulnerable of all is young mother Georgina (Brooke Satchwell), whose controlling husband flies into a cold, jealous rage when he goes through her handbag and discovers she's been picked for jury service.
