Stand Up Guys 2013

Stand Up Guys     Doc was the only friend who kept in contact with Val while Val served 28 years in prison.  He’s the only friend who comes to drive him home when Val is released.  They pick up their other friend Hirsh in a stolen car and Hirsh outruns a police car.  What about Val, just released from prison, in a stolen car and Doc is carrying a gun?
     I don’t know how I made it to the end of this film.  It’s not good and it’s boring on top of not good.  It’s like old stereotypes and clichés combined together to mean nothing.  I only liked the car!!  It’s a Dodge Challenger SRT8, with a 6.4 liter HEMI V8 with standard 5 speed automatic with sequential shift control or an optional 6 speed manual and 470 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque.  2* (I didn't like this movie)

95 min, Drama directed by Fisher Stevens with Al Pacino, Christopher Walken, Alan Arkin, Julianna Margulies, Mark Margolis, Lucy Punch, Addison Timlin.

Note:  Blockbuster 3 ½*, imdb 6.5 out of 10, 38% critic 49% audienceon Rotten Tomatoes.
