Knockaround Guys (DVD, 2003)

Movie description
Matty (Barry Pepper) is the only son of Brooklyn mobster Benny "the Chains" (Dennis Hopper). Considered too sensitive for mob work, but unable to find a regular job, Matty finally gets a chance to join his dad's organization when he agrees to arrange transport of half a million dollars across the country. When it winds up lost in a small Montana town, Matty and his assortment of tough-guy pals (played by Andrew Davoli, Seth Green, and Vin Diesel) are forced to fly out there, tangle with the locals, and find the money before their disappointed elders come to get them, guns blazing. KNOCKAROUND GUYS features stylishly washed-out, gritty cinematography and benefits from a refreshing lack of the expected "city folk stranded in a small town" gags. Instead it's a tale of identity crisis-plagued boys blasting their blood-soaked way into manhood, with the dependable Diesel easily stealing the prize with his turn as Matty's philosophic brawler pal. John Malkovich--sporting one of the weirdest Brooklyn accents in gangster film history--is also memorable as one of the older mobsters. It's the directorial debut for the screenwriting team of Brian Koppelman and Sid Levein, who before this penned the script for ROUNDERS.
All in all, very good movie but not perfect.

This movie showcases the early work of Vin Diesel, Barry Pepper (from Saving Private Ryan & Enemy of the State) & Seth Green (co-creator of Robot Chicken) as mob sons & hired guns as they try to prove themselves to their bosses & fathers. A rare mob movie gem.

500 times I could see this movie and not get sick of it. As a woman I really appreciate the chisled features of Tank top wearing Vin Diesel. Watching him beat up jerks in a bar brings great satisfaction. With a great mobland story line this movie will make want to cough up at least enough money for the DVD.
P.S. Cocaine, planes and maffia don't mix.

GREAT MOVIE! This the a classic if you like Vin Diesel you have to have this one. The whole cast makes it work.

Liked most of the movie - but did find it a bit dragging a lot of the time - could not understand why the young mob guys were so wimpy - not like that as a normal type that I know - or the ones portrayed in movies either. Had funny sections but not enough to really pull the movie together - but not bad for the most part.
