Description:
From five-time Oscar®-nominee Sidney Lumet (Serpico, Network, Dog Day Afternoon) comes the most hysterically funny testament to bad courtroom behavior since My Cousin Vinny! Vin Diesel (Saving Private Ryan) "gives a sensational performance" (The New York Times) in the true story of the most remarkable criminal trial in US history. Find Me Guilty proves beyond a reasonable doubt that justice has a strange sense of humor!
When police arrest twenty members of the Lucchese crime family, the authorities offer Jackie Dee DiNorscio (Diesel) a bargain: a shortened prison term if he'll testify against his own. But the wisecracking DiNorscio has other ideas. Refusing to cooperate, he decides to defend himself at his own trial... and proceeds to turn the courtroom upside-down in a hilarious fight that culminates in one of the most shocking verdicts in judicial history!
Amazon.com:
Vin Diesel gives his best performance to date in Sidney Lumet's Find Me Guilty, a courtroom comedy-drama (based on the true story of Mafia soldier "Fat Jack" DiNorscio) about the longest criminal trial in U.S. history. Diesel plays Giacomo "Jackie Dee" DiNorscio, a loyal member of New Jersey's notorious Lucchese crime family, who's already serving a 30-year jail term when he's offered an opportunity to shorten his sentence if he agrees to testify against many of his closest friends. He refuses, choosing instead to defend himself in a 21-month courtroom trial that involves 20 other Mafia members, each with their own defense attorney, all brought to trial on 76 charges ranging from criminal conspiracy to narcotics trafficking. As the lead defense attorney (Peter Dinklage) and prosecutor (Linus Roache) guide the trial through a maze of legal triumphs and setbacks, Lumet (still going strong at age 81) turns this goombah gab-fest into the kind of edgy New York comedy that only he could direct, drawing heavily on his experience with such courtroom classics as The Verdict and 12 Angry Men. And while he's filled the screen with a marvelous supporting cast including Alex Rocco, Ron Silver (as the no-nonsense judge) and Annabella Sciorra, Lumet can't quite overcome the confined, theatrical nature of the material, much of it drawn directly from actual courtroom transcripts. Find Me Guilty lacks the dramatic impact of The Verdict, favoring instead the rich absurdity of the DiNorscio case and its equally outrageous outcome after the jury's surprisingly brief deliberation. This is comfortable territory for Lumet, and he brings out the best in his extensive cast – especially Diesel, who walks a fine line between courtroom shenanigans and fierce loyalty to his criminal clan.--Jeff Shannon

I won't write a lengthy review about the actors and whether or not they accurately portray the real life characters. Most of the other reviewers have already done that. I just think this is a great movie that rates right up ther with "The Godfather" and "GoodFellas". And if you've ever had any dealings with the Feds, you'll recognize the way this typically egotisitcal selfrighteous prosecutor would stop at nothing to get a conviction. You couldn't help pulling for these defendants, even though you ... Read More

Find me guilty is a comedy that contains a talented cast. Vin Diesel manages to shed his "tough guy image" to show that he is a skilled actor.
I rate this movie with five stars.

This is a viewable comedy about what was the longest trial in US criminal history about a case against a mafia family. Watching the movie it is clear the case the government made too complex and big a case against too many people. What made it longer and more interesting was that one person decided to defend himself. This possibly was as he was in jail already for so long anyway and he had decided already not to turn on his friends that to him the case did not matter that much. The movie concentrates ...

2006. Written and directed by Sidney Lumet. When Law and Ethic are flouted by incompetence and the perversions of the legal system. It is meant to be funny at times but leaves a bitter aftertaste in the mouth. All in all, another prizewinner for the 82 years old filmmaker.

the movie was based on a true story which took place at the essex county court house, in newark nj. the location shots were great. the only problem i had was the fact that the lead attorney "michael critchley" was played by a midget. a good movie, fun to watch.
