January 19, 2014Stand Up Guys was better than I thought it would be, but not great. Three aged former partners in crime (Christopher Walken, Al Pacino, and Alan Arkin) get one last go at it when Pacino gets out of jail. The problem is, Walken has been chosen to kill Pacino, and if he doesn't do it then his boss will kill his granddaughter. Pacino figures it out, and doesn't blame Walken, but together they try to work out a way to not make it happen. Arkin was the best part of the movie, giving a moving performance and providing some extra comic relief. All in all, I'd say Stand Up Guys was decent and solid, but not really anything special.
