Audience Member Deeply moving, without pathos. A delicate subject nicely handled. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I guess you had to sit through some of the eulogies that were written to understand the emotionally draining events that this Captain went through. Though the names were changed, this was the story about actual people that lived. I was related to one of them and found it to be a very accurate portrayal of the events that happened and the lives of those we lost. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Virtue can be a hell of a thing for a film. Not so The Guys, adapted from the stage play by Anne Nelson that she wrote as a response to 9/11. Sigourney Weaver is touchingly moving as a New York journalist helping a fire captain (Anthony LaPaglia, excellent) compose eulogies for all the men he lost on that day. The film, like the play, is just two people talking. That's it. But director Jim Simpson skillfully gives the story a beat and a pulse for its grieving heart. Wonderful. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Deep, emotional story, heavy subject matter, but also one of several fitting cinematic tributes to those lost in 2001. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Wish I could see the play to compare the two. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member I think itwas really sweet. There really needs to be more themes on the individuals themselves like this one, instead of generic numbers of people in movie scenes, I don't think people will ever forget but how many ever knew the people for who they really were up close and personal?
