The Old Man & the Gun Movie Review

admin — Sat, 17 Nov 2018 16:18:46 +0000

If this is indeed Robert Redford’s final on-screen acting performance, it is indicative of the class and professionalism he has shown throughout his long and illustrious career. The Old Man & the Gun is a charming and classy way to say goodby to that part of his career and to say thanks to all of the fans of his acting.

The story is based on the real life Forrest Tucker, a career criminal who was adept at robbing banks and escaping from prison. He continued to rob banks well into his senior years and that is where this story picks up. While fleeing a recent robbery, Forrest (Redford) meets Jewel (Sissy Spacek) and a relationship develops.

The two bond over coffee and conversation and it’s great to see an older couple (or any couple for that matter) charm each other without the necessity of charming the pants off each other. Redford gets to deliver the most casual and delightful lines and Spacek is utterly engaging herself as they both seem completely comfortable letting all of their life lines show.

Projects like this don’t get to see the light of day that often, as the relaxed pace and non incendiary view of crime doesn’t usually spell big box office. But don’t miss your chance to see two master craftsmen at work doing what they do best.

We have ten double in season passes to give away to A Walk In The Woods – based on Bill Bryson’s best-selling book, A Walk in the Woods is a heartwarming comedy starring Robert Redford and Nick Nolte as two old friends who embark on an epic journey into the American wilderness when they decide to hike the Appalachian Trail.

Reluctant to settle into retirement, Bryson (Redford) challenges himself to hike the legendary Appalachian Trail – over 2,100 miles through some of the most spectacular and rugged wilderness in America. But the peace and tranquillity he hopes to find on the grand trail proves elusive when he agrees to make the journey with his old high school buddy Katz; a wisecracking, larger-than-life personality who is out of shape and arguably out of his mind. As the two men set off into the wilderness, they encounter an assortment of eccentric characters, wild animals and perilous weather in an epic journey that will test the limits of their friendship.
