An all-star cast enlivens this mobster movie. Barry Pepper (Saving Private Ryan, Battlefield Earth) plays the central role of Matty, the son of a mob boss (Dennis Hopper, Blue Velvet, Speed) who's reluctant to give his son a shot at crime. Alas, when Matty and his posse of friends--tough guy Vin Diesel (Boiler Room, XXX), lover boy Andrew Davoli (The Sopranos), and screw-up Seth Green (the Austin Powers movies)--finally get an opportunity, they fumble the job, and a very important satchel of money ends up in a Montana town where the wily sheriff (Tom Noonan, Manhunter) decides he deserves a bonus for his years of public service. The posse's problems get worse when Matty's ruthless uncle (John Malkovich) comes to town to clean up the mess. Mechanical and unimaginative, but the capable performances keep it moving. --Bret Fetzer

 Worst BluRay ever July 10, 2010
Salvador Sanchez (Mexico)
Canadian Blu Rays DVD's are almost by definition bad.
This Blu Ray went a bit further and it's even worse tha bad, it's pittiful.
No subtitles in ANY language, bad transfe, the DVD has more video quality, audio quality and xtras than the poor BluRay.
From a 300 BluRay library I own, this is by far the worst BluRay I own. I wish Amazon.com would stop selling Canadian BLURAYs.
Seriously the DVD is way better, I own it too.
 Good condition March 22, 2010
C. Graziano
I would order again form this seller. DVD arrived fast and in good condition. Movie was ok, kept my interest for a while...then it got kind of predictable, like every other mafia movie; which make Italians look like dumb thugs!
PONDEROUS, UNWATCHABLE DISENTERTAINMENT October 2, 2009
Josef Bush (Phoenix, AZ)
It is inconceivable to me that our native criminals, our Organized Crime families, could be that stupid; they wouldn't be able to feed themselves. It would take them weeks to figure out Calzone.
Diesel, you don't want to go back to bouncing, do you? If you don't cut this out you won't have any career left.
Can A Mafia Story Be Funny? Yes March 5, 2009
Craig Connell (Lockport, NY USA)
This is another of those films I thought was great the first time, so-so on the second. Overall, it got high marks - at least on the first viewing - because it's an entertaining film that doesn't overstay its welcome at 92 minutes.
Four young guys get involved in their first Mafia-type adventure. One is asked to do a simple job of picking up a bag of money out west and bringing it back home to Brooklyn. However, troubles ensue big-time when the bag is stolen at the little airport out West. His three friends have to come out and help him get the money back and all kinds of problems develop.
There is some black humor in here which helps spice up the film, which then turns very serious about halfway through with a few shocking twists near the end.
There are two famous veteran actors in here - Dennis Hopper and John Malkovich - and four young ones who becoming better known these days as well: Seth Green, Vin Diesel, Barry Pepper and Andrew Davoli.
Very Good Movie Excellent Performances March 2, 2008
Laser Point
Knockaround Guys is the story of four friends who are related to and associates of real mob guys. In the course of trying to prove their worth to the "knockaround guys i.e. the mob they mess up a money pickup. This puts the mob father and uncle of Matty (one of the young guys) in a cross with the big boss. Now everyone is trying to get the money: the mob, the young men trying to prove themselves, corrupt small town sheriffs, and some inane skateboard stoners.
The story is an interesting study of relationships corrupted by greed and stupidity. But it is more interesting for the juxtiposition of genuine friendship/loyalty as measured against the often bogus devotion of blood family ties and business associations. The performances are uniformly terrific-even the lesser roles. However Vin Diesel really stands out as the intelligent strong arm who believes he is out of options for himself but offers to let Matty avoid the showdown which promises to be lethal. He owns every scene in which he appears, not just because of his physical presence but because of his quiet intensity. You can believe that this is more than a talented actor reciting lines.
If you prefer highly intellectual movies this will not be your cup of tea. However, people who believe that loyalty, friendship, and courage actually exist apart from the "situational" morality/cowardice that threaten to rot out society will appreciate the film.
