CRITICAL COMMENTS |

|
|
|
|
|
"Unless you are in dire need of a Diesel fix, there is no real reason to see it. Wait for video -- and then don't rent it." -- Steve Rhodes, Steve Rhodes' Internet Reviews |
|
|
|
| "We know the plot's a little crazy, but it held my interest from start to finish." -- Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper |
|
|
|
|
"One of those strained caper movies that's hardly any fun to watch and begins to vaporize from your memory minutes after it ends." -- Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com |
|
|
|
"Despite engaging offbeat touches, Knockaround Guys rarely seems interested in kicking around a raison d'etre that's as fresh-faced as its young-guns cast." --
Janice Page, Boston Globe |

|
"Any one episode of The Sopranos would send this ill-conceived folly to sleep with the fishes." -- Megan Turner, New York Post |
