Find Me Guilty (2006)

More Than Just A Great Movie

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 know in your heart they're probably guilty. I enjoyed this movie even better the second time! March 15, 2008

Funny yet sophisticated

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. March 4, 2008

A viewable comedy

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 on that person.

Some of the problems had with the film is I was off put by a comedy where the persecutor is doing the right thing and the baddies treated as the good guys. Maybe I am too moral for this movie. Also the story is supposed to be a comedy and although parts were funny, it was not that funny.


The only main actor I thought was any good was Peter Dinklage; I wish more had been done to develop his character. Other then that I was not impressed with anyone. The characters never develop this may be in part because there were so many people in the plot.

Nor did not I think it was well filmed. It clearly was done cheap and it showed.

DISHONORABLE FAILURE OF THE LEGAL SYSTEM

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. November 10, 2007

back home

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. October 17, 2007
