I agree with the OP. I think a lot of credit should go to Lumet, but here Vin Diesel definitely shows he can ACT. Very surprising.
He should lay off the Babylons and Pitch Blacks and play more roles like this. -

Yeah you know, I just watched it and it made me think about Vin Diesel a lot, about his earlier films. I realised he's been in a lot of crap movies, but those movies were always somehow crap in spite of him, and never actually because of him. He was very often the only good thing about those movies.
He's got a lot of charisma, and a strong build that makes him a believable action star. He's cool as hell as Riddick, in those movies Vin's got both this cheesy 80s vibe action vibe and utter seriousness that make him a great movie hero.
In films like Find Me Guilty, he shows humour, irony and a little more range.
He should be getting more A list movies. He's the closest thing to a modern day Schwarzennegger we got.
