The Old Man & the Gun

This is a career-capping showcase for Redford, who with subtlety and ease goes out in style after a great long run.

The great thing about this film is we get to focus on his face and we get to remember all of his moments.

A late in the game montage is a crafty excuse to re-examine Redford's career.

[A] meditative and thought-provoking look at mortality, commitment and people's penchant for chasing something they might never catch.

It's so squarely the Redford show that the fact he's playing a real-life career criminal, Forrest Tucker, is curiously by-the-by.

The truth is, you can afford to miss Lowery's portrait of the (con) artist as an old man. Paradoxically, if you see it, you won't feel your time has been wasted.

The region wears its own homespun appeal in much the same way as Tucker in squint-and-you-might-miss-it moments, where the skyline or a street corner pop up and nearly wink at audiences...

Few actors are truly cross-generational in the manner media outlets make them out to be. Robert Redford, however, has earned this distinction.

“For my money, David Lowery has been as much fun to watch as any filmmaker of his generation.”

The Old Man and the Gun lacks an emotional payoff between its two legendary leads and left me running on empty.
