Critics Consensus

Well-acted, but it's too derivative.

Great movie. One minor: as cop, you do never go to a shootout without a bulletproof vest.

The runtime was short and the pacing was brisk enough that it never really had time to become a bad viewing experience. The opening scene set a level of quality that the rest of the movie never came close to meeting in large part thanks to some truly atrocious dialogue... listening to Diesel's monologue about how many fights he'd been in reminded me of a story I might've written in 4th grade when I idolized Stone Cold Steve Austin. Watching Seth fly an airplane was a highlight though, and I have never seen Malkovich put on a bad performance.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

I watched this film becoz Malkovich and Diesel is in it. Whole genre looks classic but horrible plot and script. More like a low budget film.

The only good thing is Vin Diesel being Vin Diesel and John Malkovich being John Malkovich.

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

Rated: 2/5

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

Even with Vin Diesel's help, Knockaround Guys got knocked around a few times too many.
