Knockaround Guys Movie Review 2001

Matty (Pepper), the son of mobster Benny Chains (Hopper), finds it difficult to find normal work due to his notorious heritage. He pesters his dad to give him a chance, and with the backing of his uncle Teddy (Malkovich) is given an assignment to pick up a bag of cash in Spokane. His unreliable pal Johnny Marbles (Green) botches the job by losing the loot in a rural Wyoming town. Matty is forced to call in friends Chris (Davoli) and Taylor (Diesel) as muscle to deal with a couple of skate punks and a crooked sheriff (Noonan). Collected dust on the shelf for two years at New Line until executives noticed the cash that Diesel's "XXX" was making.
