Find Me Guilty (2006) stars Vin Diesel, Peter Dinklage and Ron Silver and directed by Sidney Lumet. It is a docudrama based on the true story of Jack DiNorscio, a mobster who defended himself in court for what would be the longest criminal trial in U.S. history. Most of the dialog in court was taken from the actual testimony.
Vin Diesel gives a shockingly good performance as Jackie DiNorcio. He embodies him with such heart and thorough soul that I found myself rooting for these low life gangsters. At times, his performace is a bit heavy handed, but it's always entertaining. To my surprise, Diesel is a very decent comic actor. Peter Dinklage gives a very fine performance as a lawyer for one of DiNocio's codefendants.
The story is naturally dramatic its portrayal is interesting from start to finish.

......good performance?
"Vin Diesel gives a shockingly good performance as Jackie DiNorcio."
I find this hard to believe, Vin Diesel is as one dimensional as they come.

......grown up. Good for him.

........one dimensional. Isn't that a bit prejudicial on your part?
It would be akin to saying just because one's a roughneck, he cannot speak articulately.
He brought color and life to the role. It really was a fine performance.
......not Vin Diesel's performance in the movie. I haven't even seen the movie. I was commenting on whether gangsters are supposed to be one dimensional.
...of the summaries of Lumet's movies after he died. Diesel is EXCELLENT, and the movie is highly entertaining and watchable thru the end.
Diesel's masterpiece, IMO of course, is 'Knockaround Guys'...
