A modest masterpiece.

Besides the fact that it's about 9/11, it's also an effective film because you learn something about the lives of the firemen who are willing to lay down their lives for our safety, which was true long before the year 2001

What makes the movie work — to an admittedly limited extent — is the commitment of two genuinely engaging performers. Weaver and LaPaglia are both excellent, in the kind of low-key way that allows us to forget that they are actually movie folk.

One of those rare and exemplary motion pictures that is likely to make audiences of strangers want to hold hands.

If anyone needs reminding of those profound post-9/11 feelings, now or later, The Guys will be there to do it.

The sobriety of the play has been preserved at the expense of the movie.

Stands as a document of what it felt like to be a New Yorker -- or, really, to be a human being -- in the weeks after 9/11.

Worth seeing just for Weaver and LaPaglia.

Simply and eloquently articulates the tangled feelings of particular New Yorkers deeply touched by an unprecedented tragedy.

A well-made and moving but sad look at the aftermath [of 9/11].
