I find it very disturbing that as interesting and entertaining a film as "Find Me Guilty", directed by the always compelling director, Sidney Lumet, had next to no pre-release marketing and was so harshly criticized by those "evah-so-smaht" critics.
This is no spoiler - we are told at the very beginning that this is inspired by a true story and the real trial testimony has been used as dialogue. That's always a plus to me. However, some of the critics seemed blinded to the fact that this thing really went down and was based on true events. Shame.
By Galveston jury, i'm alluding to the millionaire who killed his friend and cut up his body but was found innocent by the jury because they felt the prosecutor had not nailed down who shot the gun (first?) - Dead guy or live guy???? Forget about hacking up a body. Any sane guy would do that!!
In any case, Find Me Guilty, is an interesting, well directed, courtroom drama. Vin Diesel did a good job and I can't help but wonder if the critics are out to shorten his career.
It's about time to give Vin a break. He worked hard here and I think it paid off.
