"Knockaround Guys" is yet another movie which tells about a bunch of people chasing after a bag full of money. In this case, they're penny ante mobsters or "Knockaround Guys" who have to go to BF Montana and try to outwit the locals. This flick pulls together okay art and technicals and a solid cast around an silly excuse for a story which is transparent, obvious, hacked, naive and a waste of talent. The film just can't seem to find it's center though it appears to be trying for drama while ending up like a slip-shod comedy which aims for poignancy and misses every time. Regardless, the best which can be said about this flick is it might make an okay watch for the couch potato into crime/drama. (C)
