Having stuck my neck out on Sidney Lumet’s Find me Guilty early on, calling it “clearly Lumet’s best film since Q & A, and before that Prince of the City,” it’s nice to be in the supportive company of the L.A. Weekly‘s Scott Foundas (who called it Lumet’s “best picture since the 1970s”), L.A. Citybeat‘s Andy Klein (“Lumet’s best in a decade”), and the N.Y. Times‘ Stephen Holden (“near the top of his game, this master surveyor of the urban jungle still has the machinery of police work and courtroom ritual down cold”).
