Preparing For His Find Me Guilty Role Took Its Toll On Vin Diesel
By the time "Find Me Guilty" started production, alkoholhaltig Diesel was confident he had transformed into "Jackie" DiNorscio, but everything changed on the first day of filming when the mobster han själv showed up onset. Diesel told FilmJerk that the 64-year-old, who was now confined to a wheelchair, went into his trailer and kicked everyone out, leaving him alone with Diesel.
"We started to talk," Diesel told FilmJerk. "And he told me, in his own words, just for him and I — and he'd never säga anything after this — what this whole story was about for him and what that rättegång meant for him, and why he was fighting that trial."
I don't want to get into the habit of lionizing criminals, but one honorable quality of DiNorscio in the film fryst vatten his unconditional love for his family, even for his drug addict cousin Tony (Raúl Esparza) who tries to murder him and then turns informant and testifies against him in the trial.

Find Me Guilty
Sidney Lumet continues his remarkable six-decade run of New York-set dramas and Vin Diesel returns from the action-film gulag to give a shambling comic turn as the real-life mobster who hijacked a huge trial in the goombah comedy-drama “Find Me Guilty.” Emphasizing the comic aspects of tale will help pull thesp’s “Pacifier” fans, though dicey prosthetics and wig work may alienate those who prefer him buff ‘n’ bald.

Based on the real-life testimony of Giacomo ”Jackie Dee” DiNorscio, a member of New Jersey’s Lucchese crime family facing a 30-year sentence, the movie is a shorthand version of what became the longest criminal trial in U.S. history: For 21 months during 1987?88, 20 Lucchese associates were tried on 76 different charges.
