 Find Me Guilty Find Me Guilty Quote: Find Me Guilty is a 2006 courtroom crime drama based on the true story about the longest Mafia trial in American history. Mobster Giacomo "Jackie" DiNorscio (played by Vin Diesel) faces a series of charges even though he has a prior 30 year conviction, but he decides to stand trial instead of ratting out his family and associates. A wrench is thrown into the system when DiNorscio attempts to defend himself and act as his own lawyer at trial. It was directed by Sidney Lumet, and also stars Peter Dinklage and Linus Roache. Much of the courtroom testimony was taken from the original court transcripts.

Yes, I actally went to the movies and saw this (don't ask).
Vin Diesel is very good in the lead role, and the film is fun but in a totally forgettable way. The ending is a foregone conclusion, and Diesel's character at times takes on a one dimensional we just laughed as this feel. Peter Dinklage steals the film and is superb as always. His character oculd have been played fors tupid laughs, but instead he is the most dignified person in the room. Also watch for Anabella Scirorra in the best scene in the film, its classic Lumet.
B-/C+
It wasn't a waste of my $6, but I won't be watching it again. I can see why Diesel took the role, if the film ocmes on tv its worth your time.

It was decent, if not a bit underwhelming. It's not really that funny, but somewhat enjoyable. Vin Diesel was pretty great in this role, actually. Peter Dinklage was the best part of the film, though. C+
