I always thought that there was much more to Vin Diesel than met the eye. His action films have always been enjoyable, but no one would really rate his acting that much. Yet I thought he always did well, and hearing of his involvement behind the scenes always made me believe there was more than studio comedies and genre packaged action movies.

Then came Sidney Lumet claiming that he had a great movie and a superb lead in Diesel with the film Find Me Guilty, and certain areas of the press giggled at his comments.

I think now, looking at the trailer on Apple [QT] the might stop their sniggers and think that maybe Lumet was right.

It looks fun, serious, and there's a promise of a weighty and hairy performance from Diesel. There's also a strong cast backing him up and a surprising R rating. Could we be seeing a different, actor friendly side of Diesel?
