Stand Up Guys is a 2012 American black comedy crime film directed by Fisher Stevens and starring Al Pacino, Christopher Walken and Alan Arkin.

After they leave, Val, Doc and Hirsch find a naked woman in the car's trunk named Sylvia, who was kidnapped and raped by a group of men, and tells them where they are.

Doc calls her from a payphone and tells her that the sunrise paintings were inspired by her, and has her retrieve a shoebox full of cash that he saved for her future.

The website's critics consensus reads: "Stand Up Guys largely wastes its talented cast in a resolutely mediocre comedy hampered by messy direction and a perfunctory script.

"[9] Slant Magazine gave the film two-and-a-half stars out of four: Watching Christopher Walken, Al Pacino, and Alan Arkin sitting in a diner, talking about the old days, produces a certain kind of frisson, a comforting familiarity that springs from their collective decades of on-screen myth-making.

Conversely, though, there's a profound sense of despair that stems from seeing the man who played Michael Corleone lying on a hospital bed with a pup-tent erection, leering at his doctor in a scene that feels ripped from a sub-Apatow VOD knockoff.

Your mileage with Stand Up Guys will depend on how much despair you're willing to endure in order to get to the worthwhile stuff—scenes in which the rookie filmmakers get out of the way and let the veteran actors play off of each other.

[10]Owen Gleiberman gave the film a grade of B− (on a scale of A+ to F), and concluded:[11] Directing his first dramatic feature, Fisher Stevens does his best to give these gravel-voiced legends room to strut their stuff.

Director Fisher Stevens begins with a permissive screenplay by Noah Haidle that exists in no particular city, for no particular reason other than to give the actors the pleasure of riffing through more or less standard set-pieces.

"[13] At the 70th Golden Globe Awards, the film was nominated for a Best Original Song for "Not Running Anymore" by Jon Bon Jovi.
