Perfect cast and a good story

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Absolutely Brilliant!

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

I agree with several other reviewers here who say that you probably need to be older to appreciate all that is going on in this fine movie. Having grown up thru the great years of Pacino and Walken and Arkin(who was not a lead usually but support as he is here), I truly enjoyed how each of these fine actors personality traits came thru in their characters without becoming cheesy sterotypes of themselves. Pacino was Pacino and Walken, well he's Walken! You get a fine dose of controlled crazyness from all 3. They were totally beleivable in thier roles as hitmen for the mob. Now that they are much older and ready for the rocking chairs, one last score has to be settled for the mob boss(the dude from Breaking Bad in the wheelchair and the bell who could talk!). This one last job will test their friendship and loyalty to the max. I wont say what it is because it's better to see everything for yourself. This movie is the kind of flick you can watch again and again over the years, share with similar older friends you grew up with and really appreciate. The funniest line in the movie(and there was a few) was when they opened the truck of the stolen car and foound a women naked and tied up. Pacino asks her how she got in there and she says "I am taking a vacation" and Walken says "what does that even mean?"! I am laughing now as I recall it. It shows the differences in the world and the gap between the younger and older generations and how we see and treat each other. It's a great moment. It was funny, nostalgic(no modern gadgets accept the car they stole including rotary phones were used) and drama and heartfelt drama about friendship and love. It was damn near perfect.

"Going In Style" meets "Tough Guys" meets "Space Cowboys", but more laid-back and slow (at least in the first half), and with much more emphasis on aging erections and other unpleasant aspects most viewers would probably wish SUG would have stayed away from.Far too much screen-time is devoted to Pacino's penis, the movie going so far as to even show us the bulge in his pants! It was vomit-inducing – and I want my food back.Unfortunately, Walken's usual humorous and much-admired psycho/macho approach to playing crooks and the like takes a backseat to a much more elderly-gentleman-seeking-rocking-chair type of character. I wouldn't go so far as to say he was miscast, because even this kind of sedated Walken is better than none, but I would have preferred a different actor in the role, with Walken cast as the 4th ex-mobster, but one more in tune with Pacino's gung-ho attitude. Hiring Walken for a low-key role is a bit like casting Bill Murray in a dumb indie-type drama set in Japan.The movie's highlight is doubtlessly the vigilante lesson Al & Co. give to a gang of kidnappers/racists. Otherwise, the movie moves too slowly most of the times. The script is not much better than average and so SUG has to heavily rely on the charismatic trio to pull it off.Jon Bon Jovi? That was the other occasion I had to vomit during SUG.

I'm sorry but this must be one of the best movies out there. I am writing the review too late; I watched it back when it was released and its been stuck in my mind since then. I just felt like reviewing this title but since its been 2 years, I couldn't remember the name of the movie, nor the names of any cast or anything (hell, I was seeing almost all of the actors for the first time back then). Believe me when I say I had to provide Mr. Google a ton of clues and bits that I remember for the movie for almost 2 hours before it could guess the exact name of the movie. Just for the record, I struck gold in the try where I gave these tags to google for guessing: Dodge Challenger, Surf n Turf, movie.Anyways, enough with the chit-chat. I watched this with my dad, and despite both of us being used to seeing only action movies, we absolutely loved it. Neither of us was able to figure out what exactly we loved in it, because it may seem like a slow movie to many without much action, and it actually is, but there was something (probably the direction?) which keeps you from yawning and more importantly, keeps you interested in the movie. Al Pacino was fabulous in his role. Walken was pretty much the only actor I was familiar with. But the bonding between them as friends and dealing with old age as ex-stick up kids was the main focus of the movie. I won't want to spoil the plot, but personally this a 10/10 from me. Definitely recommended.

Walken and Pacino are the main, and almost the only reason to watch this film. The ideal film for the older generation, I mean really old. Predictable, but interesting plot with small background story. Borrowed quote from cult movies, but it fits perfectly, not too much action as we used to, especially from Pachino, but enough.Neither comedy nor action, but it is more than watchable. Enough interesting/wired side characters which make the plot interesting. In the final scenes of the film Pachino and Walken showed flashes of their old glory. Let's summarize, If you like Walken or Pacino, you will like the movie, if not, skip it.
