Stand Up Guys: Really stand up...
by:
Virgilio F. De leon Jr.
Starring: Al Pacino , Christopher Walken and Alan Arkin
Plot: Valentine (Al Pacino) has just gotten out of jail after 28 years. Reuniting with his friend Doc( Christopher Walken) and Richard Hirsch (Alan Arkin) for one last night before supposedly being executed by the hands of his friend Doc who is under pressure from a crime boss. Doc struggles with himself as he has to do the deed at 10am the following morning.
The Good:
Doc and Val looting a pharmacy for designer drugs like Viagra and Anti-Hypertensive drugs.
Doc and Val springing their getaway driver Hirsh who turns out to be a real maniac on the road.
Springing Hirsch from the Retirement Home...just no way for a man of his talents to waste away like that...
Val having a problem with lift off after 28 years...
Val Shooting Anti-hypertensive like it was Coke...hilarious...
All the Ladies in this picture...
Vanessa Ferlito in the trunk...naked...still a better sight than Mr. Chow springing on you...
Oxana...check her out...
Justice served "Nutcracker" Style...
Val Holding up his end for 28 years
Doc Struggling to off his friend...
Old guys calmly shooting people...
Going out...with guns blazing...
The Bad:
Richard Hirsch's Death...
Clap hands holding a 28 year grudge...
The ugly:
Claphands is about the only ugly mug you will see in this picture.
Verdict:
I really had a blast with this movie , mainly to see how these old gangster type react to the developing times around them. Through time they still show that they have the same ruthlessness and sense of style and that is something that is admirable. Like I said I don't want to give much away but I would rather go out guns blazing with a friend than off that person...
