Roger Ebert: Stand Up Guys. 30. Januar 2013, abgerufen am 4. Februar 2013 (englisch): „Apart from any objective ranking of the actors, Walken is a spice in any screenplay, and in 'Stand Up Guys,' there’s room for at least as much spice as goulash. 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.“
