Proof that Vin Diesel really CAN act!


We forget about his early indie background....he's actually very good in this....before he took on empty beefcake roles that require him to pout silently.

I can't stand those ridiculous Furious movies, and I'm no fan of the Riddick franchise either. But the man can indeed act. The great director, Sidney Lumet, (Dog Day Afternoon, The Verdict, Network, Serpico etc...) who has worked with great actors like Pacino, Paul Newman, Dustin Hoffman, Sean Connery, Peter Finch etc...and Diesel in "Call Me Guilty" said he was one of the finest actors he's ever worked with.

Agreed.

Almost all performances in this film are stellar — including his.

P.S. Your signature quote from Talk Radio is also one of Alec Baldwin’s finest moments.
