Leave your thoughts about Knockaround Guys.
| www.susangranger.comSusan GrangerThis wannabe wiseguy comedy/drama reaps Vin Diesel's astounding "XXX" popularity but it has little credibility or pace. It's a goodfellas knock-off that rolls with the punches. |
| Film Journal InternationalDaniel EaganA dimwitted Mafia melodrama that fails even as a guilty pleasure. |
| Houston ChronicleEric HarrisonEven when the film turns serious, the filmmakers can't make up their minds about what kind of movie they're making. |
| Good Morning AmericaJoel SiegelEven with Vin Diesel's help, Knockaround Guys got knocked around a few times too many. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA pint-sized 'Goodfellas' designed to appeal to the younger set, it's not a very good movie in any objective sense, but it does mostly hold one's interest. |
| Tyler Morning Telegraph (Texas)Jonathan R. PerryNo better or worse than 'Truth or Consequences, N.M.' or any other interchangeable actioner with imbecilic Mafia toolbags botching a routine assignment in a Western backwater. |
| Premiere MagazineGlenn KennyA tough, funny, entertaining fish-out-of-water tale with a big heart and a lot of telling, realistic detail. |
| ComingSoon.netMirko ParlevlietThere's just nothing really to get that excited about. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordThe lack of humor pervading the final reels lays bare the unoriginal workings of a plot that could have been camouflaged, or at least forgiven, taken less seriously |
| Supercala.comPaul SalfenThis one is not nearly as dreadful as expected. In fact, it's quite fun in places. |
