The movie crosses two formulas -- Fish Out of Water and Coming of Age -- fairly effectively. Because it isn't wall-to-wall action but actually bothers to develop its characters and take an interest in them, it was not at first considered commercial by its distributor, New Line, and languished on the shelf for two years.
It has no twistiness or intrigue, and none of the juicy anthro-underworld detail that Koppelman and Levien brought to their screenplay for the tricky, enjoyable ''Rounders.''

Knockaround Guys proceeds with a gravity that's constantly tripped up by its characters' stupidity.
Any one episode of "The Sopranos" would send this ill-conceived folly to sleep with the fishes.
Certainly, Malkovich's portrayal of mob lieutenant Teddy Deserve (!) and his lacquered swagger represent the only thing here that you haven't seen a hundred times before.
Lackluster mob picture.
The only drama is in waiting to hear how John Malkovich's reedy consigliere will pronounce his next line.
