Reviews for The Guys
The occasional intercut of fire department surveillance camera footage isn't exactly making the most of the cinema medium.

Painfully earnest but sporadically quite moving...

The Guys accurately reflects all the helplessness and directionless determination of those unreal days.

If you want an idea of what New York was like in the immediate days after 9/11, here you go.
09/12/03
A noble attempt, but not much more.
07/04/03
A well-intentioned misfire that doesn't work in the way it intended.

Weaver, LaPaglia and director Simpson have little problem keeping us involved as they grapple with conflicting feelings in the ways nearly all Americans did.

A modest masterpiece.

Besides the fact that it's about 9/11, it's also an effective film because you learn something about the lives of the firemen who are willing to lay down their lives for our safety, which was true long before the year 2001

One of those rare and exemplary motion pictures that is likely to make audiences of strangers want to hold hands.
05/01/03
If anyone needs reminding of those profound post-9/11 feelings, now or later, The Guys will be there to do it.
04/22/03
The sobriety of the play has been preserved at the expense of the movie.
