Stand Up Guys, the 2012 action comedy movie directed by Fisher Stevens, features three Hollywood legends - Al Pacino, Christopher Walken, and Alan Arkin - in the lead roles. The plot revolves around the reunion of three aging gangsters after one of them, Val (Al Pacino), is released from prison after serving twenty-eight years for accidentally killing the son of a powerful crime boss.

With his former partner in crime Doc (Christopher Walken) by his side, Val sets out to celebrate his newfound freedom while seeking some payback for his past sins. However, as the night wears on, Val and Doc realize that their third partner Hirsch (Alan Arkin) is being held hostage and they have only a few hours to save him before he's killed.

The trio embarks on a wild night of debauchery and crime-filled adventure, indulging in booze, drugs, women, and guns - making up for the lost time with each other while reckoning with the ghosts of their past. Meanwhile, a relentless hired killer (played by Mark Margolis) is hot on their trail, hired by the vengeful son of the crime boss Val wronged years ago.

Along the way, they encounter various odd characters like a young waitress (Addison Timlin) whom Val tries to protect, a sleazy drug dealer (Lucy Punch) looking for a little fun with Doc, and a pair of crooked cops (Juliana Margulies and Rick Gomez) who want a piece of their action.

As the night progresses, Val and Doc's friendship is put to the ultimate test as they confront their mortality and the consequences of their actions. Pacino delivers an enthusiastic and energetic performance as the charming and impulsive Val, while Walken brings depth and nuance to the emotionally reserved Doc. Arkin provides some much-needed comic relief as the short-tempered but lovable Hirsch.

Overall, Stand Up Guys is a sentimental and humorous ode to friendship, nostalgia, and redemption. It's a movie that explores the complexities of aging and morality, while also delivering plenty of fun and action-packed moments. Fans of the three leading actors are sure to enjoy seeing them together on the big screen in this dark and quirky comedy.

Stand Up Guys is a 2012 thriller with a runtime of 1 hour and 34 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.4 and a MetaScore of 41.
