There's hardly any action, and, understandably, it feels stage-y at times, but the weight of the subject and solid, heartfelt delivery will keep you grounded through to the tearful end.

An exercise in art therapy rather than a work of art.

Top CriticThe sobriety of the play has been preserved at the expense of the movie.

Top CriticMaudlin and melodramatic we expected. Boring we didn't.

At times THE GUYS taps into some powerful emotions, but this kind of material is more effective on stage. It's not a motion picture; it's an utterly static picture.

This is a beautiful and powerful film that is an incredible memorial to all the heroes from 9/11...they paint a picture with words that is so clear you really have a sense of these men you never see.

Is it a great movie? Certainly not. Should it be seen? Absolutely.

Top CriticWorth seeing just for Weaver and LaPaglia.

A modest masterpiece.

[A] stuporously solemn film.

Top CriticPainfully earnest but sporadically quite moving...

A very well-meaning movie, and it will stand in future years as an eloquent memorial to the World Trade Center tragedy.

Watching the film is like reading a Times Portrait of Grief that keeps shifting focus to the journalist who wrote it.

Top CriticNot a bad journey at all.
