Reviews for The Guys

If you want an idea of what New York was like in the immediate days after 9/11, here you go.

A noble attempt, but not much more.

Top CriticA well-intentioned misfire that doesn't work in the way it intended.

Top CriticWeaver, LaPaglia and director Simpson have little problem keeping us involved as they grapple with conflicting feelings in the ways nearly all Americans did.

A modest masterpiece.

Besides the fact that it's about 9/11, it's also an effective film because you learn something about the lives of the firemen who are willing to lay down their lives for our safety, which was true long before the year 2001

One of those rare and exemplary motion pictures that is likely to make audiences of strangers want to hold hands.

Top CriticIf anyone needs reminding of those profound post-9/11 feelings, now or later, The Guys will be there to do it.

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