THE OLD MAN AND THE GUN is based on the true story of Forrest Tucker (Robert Redford), from his audacious escape from San Quentin at the age of 70 to an unprecedented string of heists that confounded authorities and enchanted the public.
POSITIVES…
- Robert Redford is charming as heck here. He is always so enjoyable to watch.
- Sissy Spacek is simply a delight in this as well.
- Based on the true-life story of Forrest Tucker, this is a nice premise of a movie.
- Written and Directed by David Lowery, he gives us a well paced, simple, and not overly-stylized story, that’s very entertaining for what it is.
NEGATIVES…
- Some people might not find this movie exciting enough, especially when it’s about a bank-robber.
- This is supposed to be Robert Redford’s last movie as an actor. That’s definitely a negative thing, because who wouldn’t want to see more of Robert Redford on the big-screen.
