San Francisco Chronicle | G. Allen JohnsonAdd Critic to Favorites

Perhaps no director has so thoroughly explored the American concept of police work, prosecution and legal justice, and Find Me Guilty is a film that brings the 81-year-old filmmaker thematically full circle, back to his starting point, 1957's "12 Angry Men."Read the full review

The New York Times | Stephen HoldenAdd Critic to Favorites

Find Me Guilty, Mr. Lumet's first feature film in seven years, catches him near the top of his game.Read the full review

Chicago Sun-Times | Roger EbertAdd Critic to Favorites

This movie by its nature is not thrilling, but it is very genuinely interesting, and that is rare.Read the full review

ReelViews | James BerardinelliAdd Critic to Favorites

Variety | Eddie CockrellAdd Critic to Favorites

Part mob-trial thriller, part "dese 'n' dose" extended standup routine, character-rich pic plays like vintage Lumet, mining the grim comedy from life-and-death legal wranglings in the manner of "Dog Day Afternoon," "Prince of the City" and "The Verdict."Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Nathan RabinAdd Critic to Favorites

A new courtroom comedy that finds Diesel chewing scenery in a role originally intended, and seemingly custom-made, for Joe Pesci.Read the full review

Entertainment Weekly | Lisa SchwarzbaumAdd Critic to Favorites

A sharp-looking Mob drama with a gooey moral center.Read the full review

Rolling Stone | Peter TraversAdd Critic to Favorites

Sadly, Lumet's skill at bringing out the juice in actors isn't enough to save the film from overkill.Read the full review

Washington Post | Teresa WiltzAdd Critic to Favorites

Though we were wooed by Diesel -- notwithstanding that rug -- we were less enamored with the film's scraggly script. Find Me Guilty is a courtroom drama (much of the dialogue is culled from court transcripts) without a whole lot of drama going on.Read the full review
