Based on the true story of Jack DiNorscio, a mobster who defended himself in court for what would be the longest mafia trial in U.S. history.
The take
This movie is based on a true story and is about the longest mafia trial in American history. Jack Dinorscio, played by Vin Diesel, is a mobster who refuses to get a lawyer and decides to defend himself in court. This is a great funny, feel-good and heartwarming movie. It is in my opinion by far the best performance Vin Diesel has given and it is therefore very sad how poorly this movie did when it first came out and how underrated it still is. I therefore urge everybody to watch this movie and see Vin Diesel give his all to this role.
An exciting and heartbreaking fairy tale with a modern, class-centric twist
