Review of Stand Up Guys (2012) by Martin C — 27 Jun 2013

Pacino and Walken on screen playing crusty old gangsters trying to bring it back for just one more wild night, what could wrong - well this films shows exactly what can go wrong. The fact that I had to check on IMDB to see if this really was meant to be a comedy says it all.

With such great acting talent its amazing to see how many times the script totally misses the target. Only once, and that's very close to the end, is there any hint of the on-screen chemistry that you would expect from these two, and in away that hurts the movie even more as it just reminds how you good this film could have been.
