2sdays: "The Old Man and the Gun"

Robert Redford is at the top of his game in what he says is his last film, The Old Man & the Gun. Exuding easy charm, he robs banks with aplomb, romances a lovely widow, and manages to elude the law, all with a twinkle in his eye. Based on the true story of Forrest Tucker, who escaped San Quentin at age 70, “Old Man” benefits from a slew of repurposed film stills featuring Redford in various roles over the years, reminding the viewer of the actor’s long career. The film also features Sissy Spacek, Casey Affleck, Danny Glover and Tom Waits. Like Redford, the film is a charmer! Joshua Rothkopf of Time Out says The Old Man & the Gun is “Loose-limbed, rascally and Texan to its bones” calling it “a throwback to an era when making beautifully understated crime comedies was the peak of Hollywood's ambition.” 1:33. Rated PG-13 for limited strong language.
