When the job goes comically wrong, they find themselves bumming around Billings, Montana matching wits with flannel-clad local tough guys and the airport baggage employees who stole their score. Knockaround Guys presents itself as a rote gangster black comedy, centering on the son (Barry Pepper) of a Brooklyn mobster (Dennis Hopper) determined to prove himself to his Godfather-like dad by running a money delivery job by himself, with the help of a few buddies (Vin Diesel plays their bellicose heavy).

So, my criteria when compiling this list: Is the movie good? Is Vin Diesel good in it? If the answer to both was yes, it made the list. There's a Vin Diesel movie, and there's a movie that merely has Vin Diesel in it, offering a few lines of voice acting or a single-scene cameo to movies that otherwise don't actually star him. Rather, it's meant to rank them by their Vin Diesel factor. And before all you Saving Private Ryan-heads get all fussy, let me say that this list is not a ranking of movie quality. What to do with all these movies and all these gravelly-voiced performances? We do what we do best: pick the greatest ones and rank them, of course.
Dudes in sports cars who steal a bunch of VCRs? A genetically enhanced criminal warrior who can see in complete darkness? An extreme sports enthusiast recruited by the government to fight crime?
The dude's got a certain look, but he also has range, and has made a bunch of unlikely franchises that improbably keep going for years. In his career spanning 30 movies and counting, Vin Diesel has carved out a niche for himself playing macho good guys, macho bad guys, and tiny little tree children who dance in flowerpots.
