With Sopranos
finished, I've gotta get my mafia fix from somewhere. For this, Knockaround Guys
was perfect. The plot's got its twist, of course, but the story's all the same. In this movie, a mafia under boss' son looks to give the life a try. He's stayed away for a while, but is seemingly being forced into it. I found the whole situation quite ironic. In the end, it's a good story, tho. There was really only one part I didn't like, which was Teddy's decision towards the end, but I guess I can see why he'd make that decision.
One of the reasons I wanted to watch Knockaround Guys was because of the cast. John Malkovich
was perhaps the best actor with Dennis Hopper
behind him; but, honestly, they weren't the ones I was interested in seeing. I guess I got the movie because I like Vin Diesel
in the tough guy roles he always seems to play; Seth Green
was just an added bonus; and, I'm not sure why what I know Barry Pepper
from, but I like him, too.
