when you hire an action star to do comedy

Today I'll look at the intensely underrated Sidney Lumet film Find Me Guilty. You haven't seen Vin Diesel act until you've seen him play the at once hilarious and sincere real mobster that he does with such ease here.

It's always weird watching early Vin Diesel films because you can actually hear what he's saying.

I'd love it if Vinny had a later resurgence like Sandler has. Apparently, the next FF is the last, so maybe he'd be more open to stuff like this again.

I remember watching this shortly after it came out on DVD. And it’s still so endearing in its sincerity.

I saw Find Me Guilty in college the year it released and it was one of those movies that stuck with me.

He is a good actor who tried to do a lot of different roles, but Hollywood had another plan for him, they wouldn't offer him what he wanted, you're an active guy so you gonna do what we tell you to do, when he release that he played ball and accepted what was offered to him . Another of really good actor were in the same situation, some of them refused to play ball and when forgotten and out work

The joy of meeting the people who inspired you and the passion for making the movie really does seep through to the audience in a hundred different ways, even if you can pin point each one.

Feels like there's not a whole lot of movies like that anymore... Just can just feel that it was another money-grab.

Very charming movie, easy watch, entertaining, and Vin is great in his role. The opening act is bizarre, but once the case starts, you could watch it for hours longer.

Good vid...hilarious that you wrote written & edited by Danny Boyd on your own video lol.

Oh geez, from the thumbnail and the first minute or so I thought that was Toby Flenderson

[entronics]

Before i even watched this i was thinking, "is this gonna be a story about family?"

[Cabin_Fever]

@7:19 "better call saul" inspiration i'm guessing for Vince Gilligan

[xxczerxx]

I feel like Vin Diesel will go on to do a role which will genuinely blow minds one day. Just don't know when.

[karitosmc]

Not just for his character.. my opinion of Vin Diesel changed during the movie... I would not have believed he could act, but he definitely can.

[caesarali]

Jason Statham too had some great roles back in the day.

[patricklynch]

wait until you find about his music career

[Erox]

he looks like Toby from the office doing a wigged cosplay of vin diesel

[RobleViejo]

Its one of those Movies that are good because they kinda happened for real on set

[kylerivoire]

I hope he takes more risks as he gets older. He'll probably age like a fine wine.

[BrianLanier-em]

I’ve never once I have seen this man with hair

[jaiza_one]

If you've ever seen a Vin Diesel interview you might realize he's the greatest actor of all time lol
