Review of Stand Up Guys (2012) by Jules-S — 26 Jul 2013
This movie has been treated too harshly so far. It has great actors doing a really good job, some very funny moments and lines as well as a pretty good story. This movie made me feel comfortable and happy, maybe in part because of the nature of the characters that are not simple mobs, but men of wit, whom above all know what life is about.
Pacino, Walken and Arkin create a great atmosphere with performances that are certainly rare for them in the recent years. It's not only an inner comeback of the characters they play, but their own proof that their "pipes are still working".
So, if you're in search of an easy, funny and well-acted gangster movie, I think this is what you're looking for.
