Consensus: Diesel's performance may win you over, but the rest of the movie is tediously overlong and stacks the deck to gain sympathy for criminals.

Reviews for Find Me Guilty
If watching a jury disregard mountains of damning evidence in favor of a charismatic gangster who calls himself a "gagster" seems a morally challenging proposition, well that's all part of the bargain in Lumet's topical drama.

What on the surface seems like a regular court drama with a little humor thrown in for good measure actually works as a wicked satire on the American judicial system.
07/10/07
Could not be more relevant at a repressive time in US history when the erosion and abuse of civil rights of those presumed guilty is nearly as big an issue as the plight of the innocent.
05/04/07
Manages to crackle along in lively fits and starts of nasty profanity and very bad but all too credible behavior.
03/01/07
Vin Diesel gives a perfect performance.
01/12/07
Lumet orchestrates the machinations with the confidence of a master, but even he cannot quite manage to sustain the interest for the protracted arguments to run their course.
12/30/06
...more reminiscent of a glorified Perry Mason episode than a return to form for the filmmaker.
06/12/06
We could have done just as well to watch the proceedings on Court TV -- free, as it were, to flip channels or get up for a snack and skip the parts that disinterest us, rather than be held hostage by 125 minutes of drive-by clichés.
05/03/06
as everyone knows, putting a self-serious egomaniacal movie star in a bad hairpiece is comedy gold.
04/29/06
Find Me Guilty, like the justice system it portrays, ultimately works a great deal better than you might expect.
04/08/06
The best way to enjoy Find Me Guilty is to view it as an indictment of the jury system.
04/05/06
In Find Me Guilty, the teller counts at least as much as the tale. And, in director Sidney Lumet, Find Me Guilty, has a master storyteller spinning the yarn.
03/31/06
An entertaining, true-life, comedy-drama saga of a nearly endless mob trial.
03/31/06
It's hard to do anything in court that hasn't been done before. It's a static situation, and points are scored in tiny increments. No big witness-stand breakdowns, no tearful confessions. Thus, boredom creeps in.
03/31/06
While it delivers a few good laughs, the film is short on drama and suspense.
03/31/06
If you didn't know you were watching Vin Diesel in Find Me Guilty, you wouldn't know you were watching Vin Diesel. And that's a compliment.
03/31/06
You won't feel uplifted, and you won't have any faith in the American justice system after watching its wheels grind to a halt, then start turning the wrong way. But you won't be bored.
03/31/06
Vin Diesel has seldom been more likable... [but] the movie itself feels like jury duty.
