    I stand up for this one.....

    The film is Stand Up Guys

    I had decent review of this written up, but lost it on a 'refresh'.:M

    Bottom line......

    I liked it ......allot.
    And if you know me, you know I do not like many movies.

    For example, "RED" is cute, only.

    This swan song tale of old-time thugs is classy.
    This has style.
    This has panache.

    Christopher Walken, my favorite psycho, maintains his position on the throne of 'the best of any bad guy'.
    Yes, Tony Montana (AP) is mean.
    But CW, in any role, makes anybody Stephen King dreamed up seem like a fairy godmother.

    Edit: BTW, for those old enough to remember, this film has the best use ever of the classic Rowdy Roddy Piper line from "They Live". :W

    2nd Edit: dearest Sir George, should you happen across this, I highly recommend it for you.
    It has that old-time classic Western feel I know you love :T

    Hey, Bill. I saw this sometime ago. I liked it enough to add it to my collection.

    Hope you had a good Christmas and New Years, buddy.

    Christmas Day is always tough without my wife ( this is the third, and hard to believe ). But it is all past now and I am fine.

    Take care.

      Dearest Sir George,

      So good to hear from you!
      Seems my instincts on your taste in films is still on the mark.

      Our holidays were good, though we were not able to be with our grandchildren in FL this year.

      I often think of how life has changed for you, & while it never gets easier, know that your friends are always with you.

      Your HABs are strong this year, they must all have had their vaccinations!

      Be well, dear friend....

      & remember, keep your stick on the ice!
