Find me Guilty

FIND ME GUILTY (2006) - July 23, 2006
After movies like xXx and the Fast and the Furious, Vin Diesel reminds us that yes, he really can act. Diesel, wearing a fat suit and a wig, gives a really engaging performance, his best since Boiler Room. About a mobster who chose to defend himself, entertaining the courtroom in the process with his wacky antics, this was well made and entertaining throughout, despite a longish running time of around two hours. Though on paper it seems as though Diesel's character might be a bit one-dimensional, Diesel's performance goes a long way in making sure that this isn't the case. I'm puzzled as to why this didn't get a wider release. ***1/2
