Review of The Guys (2002) by Manny C — 02 Dec 2013
Virtue can be a hell of a thing for a film. Not so The Guys, adapted from the stage play by Anne Nelson that she wrote as a response to 9/11. Sigourney Weaver is touchingly moving as a New York journalist helping a fire captain (Anthony LaPaglia, excellent) compose eulogies for all the men he lost on that day.
The film, like the play, is just two people talking. That's it. But director Jim Simpson skillfully gives the story a beat and a pulse for its grieving heart. Wonderful.
