Find Me Guilty

Find Me Guilty (Movie)

The movie is a courtroom drama based on real events. The film depicts the longest Mafia trial in NYC history, and most of the dialog is taken from the original records of the trial. In 1987-88, some 20 members of the Lucchese crime family, each with his own lawyer, were indicted on some 76 charges ranging from criminal conspiracy to narcotics trafficking. The trial went on for 21 months.

The film focuses on Jack DiNorscio, one of the accused mobsters (played by Vin Diesel), who decides to defend himself. Even though he spent half his life in jail he doesn’t know much about legal proceedings and mostly speaks what comes into his mind thus sometimes making fun of the whole trial.

he physical transformation was astonishing. He gained a lot of weight for this role, and many of you won’t recognize him initially. While watching the film, I totally forgot that I was watching Vin Diesel. He really became the character for me.

All in all a great flick !!
