It might have been better served with only one director.

| Original Score: B- | Jan 4, 2018

Even with Vin Diesel's help, Knockaround Guys got knocked around a few times too many.

| Original Score: D | Jan 4, 2018

| Original Score: B- | Sep 7, 2011

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 8, 2009

No less stale than the many derivative crime thrillers that flood the direct-to-video market.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 30, 2008

What sounds like a formula for freakish violence and a torrent of incessant expletives is in fact a stylish mobster film that stands out due to some very inventive casting.

Even the top ensemble case of Knockaround Guys, headed by the ever-remarkable John Malkovich and charismatic Vin Diesel, can't jump the brick wall that the script hits in the last 20 minutes.

| Oct 18, 2008

Diesel is excellent as a compassionate pre-XXX tough guy (the film has been on the shelf for nearly two years).

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 7, 2008

Knockaround Guys just doesn't deserve to get made, either literally or figuratively, and isn't worth the time needed to discover that this particular up-and-comer is yesterday's news.

| Jul 2, 2008

Borrowing heavily from leftfield genre spin-offs like True Romance, it's no wonder this misfire was on the shelves for so long.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 30, 2006

The dialogue is almost a bit too conscious of its own wittiness and street-tough colloquialisms.

| Feb 1, 2004

Putting the faces of hot young stars on the same old parts doesn't make the movie any fresher.

O roteiro interessante, mas se perde no final, com o tiroteio obrigatrio.

When the movie mixes the cornpone and the Cosa Nostra, it finds a nice rhythm.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 26, 2003

Guns get drawn. Bullets fly. Blood spills. You've seen it all before.

Full Review | Original Score: 0.5/4 | May 20, 2003

Real gangsters often love gangster films, but it's a safe bet that Knockaround Guys won't be on their all-time hit list.

| Mar 21, 2003

It may not be instantly forgettable, but it comes close.

| Original Score: C | Jan 15, 2003

It's mildly interesting to ponder the peculiar American style of justice that plays out here, but it's so muddled and derivative that few will bother thinking it all through.

Full Review | Original Score: 63/100 | Dec 30, 2002

This heist flick about young Brooklyn hoods is off the shelf after two years to capitalize on the popularity of Vin Diesel, Seth Green and Barry Pepper. It should have stayed there.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 19, 2002

Fails to convince the audience that these brats will ever be anything more than losers.
