The Guys [DVD]

Product Description The Guys is a powerfully moving and unexpectedly humorous film about a New York City journalist (Sigourney Weaver) who is called upon to help a fire captain (Anthony LaPaglia) pay tribute to the men he lost at the World Trade Center. As the fireman begins to open up, the two form an unexpected bond and we rediscover the quiet heroism and humanity that affected all of our daily lives. Bonus Content: The Guys Soundtrack Spot Theatrical Trailer ]]> Amazon.com The premise of The Guys is simple: A fire captain (Anthony LaPaglia), who lost eight firemen in the fall of the World Trade Center, asks a journalist (Sigourney Weaver) to help him compose eulogies for these men. It's only a week after the attack; their bodies haven't yet been found, but the families are holding services. The writer cajoles the sometimes inarticulate and plain-spoken captain into talking about the men--who range from the captain's best friend to a newcomer he'd only know a few weeks--until she's gleaned enough to piece together a tribute. Originally a play by Anne Nelson, the movie captures much of the texture of New York through montages woven into the storyline; but the piece lives or dies by the performances, and both Weaver and LaPaglia give subdued and unfancy but carefully wrought performances that make the most of this potent material. --Bret Fetzer
