Find Me Guilty is what happens when you pick up an illegal immigrant at home depot, show him My Cousin Vinny and The Sopranos, and then have him write a movie. It doesn't help anything when you cast a novelty actor who's career is built around his physique. The only purpose of this movie is to serve as a warning to lazy film students.
shareVin Diesel did an amazing job though. His career may be built around his physique, but like Bruce Willis, who hardly ever does anything besides action, is a good actor.
This movie happened to be exceptionally well done. There is a reason that 75% of the people who saw this rated it a 7 or higher.
No, I agree. This is a terrible movie. Most people who experience bad movies don't bother looking at the IMDB credits. Awful film. Vin was decent, but when he said AYEEEE FIND ME GUILTY, I lost my lunch. Terrible, F.

You realize that almost all of the courtroom dialogue is taken from the courtroom transcripts?

Does this make a movie exceptionally well done? Over 75% of the German people liked Hitler, does that make him an "excpetional" leader?
This movie is another example of why Lumet should pack up his camera and his outdated opinions, and just give up. I imagine he feels guilty about his own racism against Italians. Italians who, based on his own book Making Movies, have have no great artists except Micaelangelo (which was already adapted with Heston falling on his ass).
Of course, in words inspired by of Paddy Chayefsky: It's only racism if a Gentile does it.
" Over 75% of the German people liked Hitler, does that make him an "excpetional" leader? "
Yes, he was an exceptional leader. Not a good, moral, or just leader, but able to garner support and motivate. He was 1938's Time Man of the Year, for crying out loud.
You made a very bad analogy.

But he didn't make an analogy.
shareThat is right, he didn't make an analogy.
shareThis forum sucks. OP is a complete moron who created a temp account just to rant with baseless arguments. He didn't have the balls to do it on his own ID probably. Then, we see a barrage of morons with psychological issues fight around him like animals (And evidently bring Hitler, Italians and Irish!!! Haven't I heard that before?). For God's sake, discus the movie here and stop fighting!
This is a decent courtroom drama. As it's based on real incidents and given the dramatisation required for movie production purposes, a decent effort from a legendary director who IMO, proves he hasn't completely lost it. Well deserving 7, IMO.
I think you proved his point.
share..... and you need to learn how to write/spell "exceptional" correctly.....
shareApparently you love Hitler... good for you.
shareYour comparison of this film to Nazi Germany was by far the stupidest thing I've ever read on the internet. You are truly a moron.

I didn't compare this film to Nazi Germany. I respectfully suggest that you work on your reading comprehension.

People like you are the reason that the Jews were targeted. Nice job, a-hole!
shareImpressive ad Hitlerum, sir. Do you evoke Godwin's Law often on IMDB? You're obviously experienced.
Organized a tattered country post WWI and turned it into an elite Military Machine? No, taht makes him a sloppy, incompetant leader.
share"This movie is another example of why Lumet should pack up his camera and his outdated opinions, and just give up."
Spoken like a true d-bag. I realize that this is a response to a post made over a year ago but its just so incredibly wrong that I couldnt help but comment.
Lumet is an incredible director. 12 Angry Men, Network, Dog Day Afternoon. You say hes outdated? What about Before The Devil Knows Your Dead. A truly incredible movie and just because the themes have been around since Ancient Greece doesnt mean that they are not prevalent today.
I truly hate you Sempai. Im taking your comment personally.

What the *beep* is wrong with you ? He loved working with Al Pacino who is a pure Italian. He wasn't racist at all you dumb *beep* *beep*
shareThose 75% can also mean , that they just got a stupid sense of movies just like You. Most of em obviously just liked it , because of Vin Diesel. Maybe hard to believe for You , but not everyone does or has to like VD . How can one judge and rate a movie merely by the main characters performance ???? What about the plot ? Who wants to watch a movie more than 2 hours , from one he/she/it knows , the whole plot is set in a courtroom ? But first of all , if it´s so damned good , why it took $13 million , and brought just $1.875.000 in the first weeks (worldwide) ?? :)
shareTypical ignorant opinions who only wanna see B grade action cliches (feel free to look up some of those words if you have trouble understanding them as badly as you understood and appreciated this movie, morons.)
Great movie, funny, original, shows he isn't a typical muscle head moron, he can ACT!
-This is me i'll kick your ass!-

ur opinion sucks bigtime!!!
shareVery well put, q. I couldn't agree more.
Vin Diesel is a legitimate actor. The whole reason he has a career is because of the two roles he wrote for himself in Stray's and Multi-Facial, both of which I'm sure you've never heard of. Diesel wrote, directed, and produced both of them. Multi-Facial impressed Steven Spielberg enough to offer him a role in Saving Private Ryan. Stray's competed at Sundance. So, obviously he can act and you're just either too blind to see it or too stubborn to accept it. Not to mention the fact that he received an enormous amount of acclaim for his role in this movie, which got very good reviews. So basically what I'm saying is, you're opinion is completely wrong.
shareThis movie was based on a true story with actual court transcripts used for the script. :/

It's simple mathematics.
Last movie seen: Madea Goes to Jail (6/10)
I happened to really like this movie. It kept me entertained all the way through. Thought there were some really good performances.
shareI thought the whole thing was just awful, including Diesel's performance.
He is a classically trained actor who went through the right avenues in order to learn his craft, I just think he was miscast here.
You’re so cool. You’re so cool. You’re so cool.
