Find Me Guilty (DVD, 2006)

I'm a fan of courtroom dramas, so this movie especially appealed to me. It perfectly sets up the imposing grandeur of the a highly-charged courtroom, the assertive judge, the aggressive and incisive prosocuter, and the calmly-spoken defenders of the mob who stand as if butter wouldn't melt in their mouths while portraying their clients as fine upstanding citizens who are just misunderstood. Then along comes the loose cannon Jack DiNorscio, (Vin Diesel) who casually admits to being involved in all manner of abhorent crime, chats about it openly in front of everyone while questioning the witnesses, breaks all manner of protocol, comes to within inches of being thrown out, and in the course of it all captures the hearts of the jury. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to make heroic figures out of mobsters and criminals, but that is what this picture sets out to do and achieves beautifully. However dubious a statement this film is trying to make, it makes it in a way that is amusing and very entertaining.

I normally do not watch a movie more than once, in a period of 2-3 years and rarely buy DVD'S, but I found this to be so entertaining, that not only have I seen it 3 times, but I bought it to watch over and over. I give it 4 stars!

What drew our attention to this movie was Vin Diesel on the cover, yet the cover wasnt very promising, so we read more into and decided to watch it.

It was much better than expected, as it is very interesting, funny, yet serious. It will hold your attention from beginning to end.

A GREAT Movie based on the true events of Jackie DiNorscio, the US Federal Govt, Organized Crime, and how Jackie served as his own Attorney in a Federal Court, for which he was looking at a 30 year sentence along with his Family and Friends.
Its amazing how Jackie D handled his case in a Federal Court, acting as his own Attorney. Absolutely Hilarious!!!
The Movie is based on a True Story and Events, and most of the court testimonies played in the movie are factual to the real case. At the time, it was the longest running Criminal Trial in American History.

OUR RATING: 9/10 , 10/10

**A MUST SEE!!**

We know that Sidney Lumet is a world-class filmmaker. When Al Pacino was riding high on his "Godfather" fame, Lumet cast him in "Dog Day Afternoon," an equally difficulty role. This is perhaps the greatest achievement of "Find Me Guilty" as well. Vin Diesel, an actor known mostly for his unapologetic action roles, is cast against type in a part that mines the same significant acting chops that he displayed last in "Saving Private Ryan." Otherwise, "Find Me Guilty" is mostly forgettable, except maybe for die-hard mobster fans.

This is a really great movie with strong performances. It is based on the true story of Jackie DiNorscio (Vin Diesel), a mobster who defended himself in court for the longest mafia trial in U.S. history. Jackie decided to stand trial instead of ratting out his family and associates.

The great thing about this movie is it is really very interesting for a courtroom drama. There are some slow parts but some really funny parts too. Jackie calls himself a "gagster" not a gangster. You really like Jackie and his big heart. He loves his cousin even though his cousin tried to kill him and put 4 bullets in him.

I also liked that Vin Diesel played a part that was against his buff, action hero image. It was really refreshing. He can really act too and he is great as Jackie. If you want solid entertainment with good acting, this is your movie.

For some reason, I expected this movie to be a comedy. I don't know where I got the idea, but it definitely was not funny. Moreover, it was rather sad.

This film "based on a true story" stars Vin Diesel playing a clownish, over-the-hill mafia cappo who got the bright idea to defend himself during a RICO trial including 20 defendants and 360 days of evidence and testimony. What is sad about the movie is that this man is utterly clueless, a murderous criminal, and yet he wraps the jury around his little finger by making off-color jokes about cocaine and his wife's genitalia.

Worse yet, the film obviously tries to make you fall in love with the guy!

Nonetheless, the movie had its moments. There were some interesting points made about stereotypes and profiling, and there were a couple of humorous scenes. But, in the end, I wasn't really sure what the director was trying to do - make us laugh, make us love the criminal, or make us outraged about the fallibility of the jury system.

It's worth a watch, but I doubt I will view it twice.

Again I purchase Vin Diesel movies, I enjoy the drama in this movie. Of course, it could of been alittle more in dept.

I am 100% satisfied with this purchase: I am a Vin Diesel fan and have all of his movies. The item was brand new, just as it was advertised, and functions perfectly. The DVD arrived very quickly, less than one working week, and arrived in perfect condition.

When I make purchases on line I am very wary as to whether or not it is the real article or not, so I do a lot of comparison regarding, price, value, shipping charges, sellers rating,and overall believability of the description of the item. Generally this is sufficient but I have been burned twice.

As far as rating this item ,it definately rates a 5/5. It is just one of many fantastic transactions I have experienced.
