Borrowing heavily from leftfield genre spin-offs like True Romance, it's no wonder this misfire was on the shelves for so long.

Real gangsters often love gangster films, but it's a safe bet that Knockaround Guys won't be on their all-time hit list.

This heist flick about young Brooklyn hoods is off the shelf after two years to capitalize on the popularity of Vin Diesel, Seth Green and Barry Pepper. It should have stayed there.
November 19, 2002 | Rating: 1/4 -
The first-time directors previously penned the screenplay Rounders, and while their attention to setting and detail in both films is commendable, their development of character and storyline could stand some improvement.
October 20, 2002 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… -
Perhaps if co-directors David Levien and Brian Koppelman had spent more time devising a coherent vision for the film, we would not have felt as knocked around after watching it.

Audience Reviews for Knockaround Guys

Jun 26, 2011Great cast, interesting story, but there is a major essence missing in this film. If Guy Ritchie would have directed the film, that essence would probably have existed. Instead, the entire film comes off formulaic and soulless despite the acting prowess afoot.Christopher H Super Reviewer

Oct 31, 2009Everywhere they go, they're sure to be a hit. Good movie. It's no Goodfellas, but this watchable, well-crafted little mob story is easy to take, and goes a long way on its appealing cast and dark, profane sense of humor. Vin Diesel kicked ass, don't mess with him. Nice good story which entertained me late at night. The acting was decent, nothing bad to say about this movie. Popcorn movie to watch with your guy friend's. The four sons (Diesel, Green, Pepper, Davoli) of major Brooklyn mobsters have to team up to retrieve a bag of cash in a small Montana town ruled by a corrupt sheriff. Specifically, the story gets started when Matt Demaret (Pepper) goes on a job to deliver the money for his mob father (Hopper) on the advice of his uncle (Malkovich). Things don't go as planned though...Manu G Super Reviewer

As they unite to find the money, they come face-to-face with the bloodshed and betrayal that is their birthright. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I thought it had a great cast. Thought the movie was good. Little slow to begin with but got better as it went. Good little mob story.♥˩ƳИИ & Super Reviewer

Jun 01, 2009This wasnt so bad to sit through. Had its moments, both good and bad. <i>Taylor: 500 fights, that's the number I figured when I was a kid. 500 street fights and you could consider yourself a legitimate tough guy. You need them for experience. To develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then, after, you realize that's what you are. </i>Ameeta . Super Reviewer
