It's sad for all the wrong reasons.

At least Pacino and Arkin will always have "Glengarry Glen Ross."

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 17, 2016

The pace is too slack, the gags too tired and the plot too hackneyed for the film to be more than fitfully engaging for all but die-hard Pacino and Walken fans.

| Nov 9, 2013

Thanks to Al Pacino, Christopher Walken, and Alan Arkin - mostly just for being charismatic old pros who are fun to hang out with - Stand Up Guys is watchable, occasionally amusing, not altogether insufferable.

| Original Score: C | Jul 13, 2013

A messy script isn't enough to undermine these clever veteran actors, who manage to make the most of the humour, drama and action without ever losing their dignity.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 5, 2013

Stand Up Guys probably won't appeal to anyone whose father hasn't got friends of pensionable age.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 2, 2013

It's depressing to see the likes of Pacino reduced to making erectile dysfunction jokes, more so when the film labours the gag by having him overdose on Viagra.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 1, 2013

Viagra is consumed, erections wrestled, old scores settled - blah blah blah.

| Jun 30, 2013

Even when Walken, Pacino, and Arkin are phoning it in - on a rotary phone - they still earn their status as icons.

| Jun 28, 2013

There's sharp dialogue and the odd, startling moment of emotional intimacy scattered amidst the dreck; enough to make this a solidly entertaining couple of hours if you try resolutely not to think about it too hard.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 28, 2013

Frankly, if you put Al Pacino, Christopher Walken and Alan Arkin in your movie, you don't really need to worry about the script: we'd happily watch them do just about anything on-screen.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 28, 2013

Think what they might have achieved with better material.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 28, 2013

An initially promising, increasingly glutinous buddy comedy that exploits and squanders the talents of its starry cast.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 28, 2013

With a little bit of chutzpah and a fistful of Viagra, the tough guys of yesteryear can still come staggering back to make a decent movie.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 27, 2013

A rewarding mash-up of Last of the Summer Wine and Goodfellas.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 26, 2013

You'd think that septuagenarians Al Pacino and Christopher Walken would still have enough self-respect left in the tank to steer clear of debacles like this.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 16, 2013

All three acting legends bring the spice to a sub-par story. But, the total is not enough to keep this flick from stinking.

| Original Score: C- | Jun 13, 2013

There's much entertainment ... in watching a trio of great actors in the twilight of their careers, at work with a strong script.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 5, 2013

Stand Up Guys is very much an old man's film, but Stevens just about delivers the performances that its ageing audience demands.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 5, 2013

It's hardly great, but it's refreshingly old school.

| Original Score: 86/100 | Apr 27, 2013
