Review of Going in Style (1979) by Acacia — 15 Apr 2017
I really enjoyed this movie! Who doesn't love Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Alan Arkin? They are wonderful together playing three friends facing financial disaster when their pensions are taken away.
Caine's character, Joe, is present when his bank gets robbed. But, the bank and the company they worled for are really the bad guys here. How are people supposed to live after retiring? Joe comes up with a preposterous idea and is met with much derision and resistance.
The plot goes on from here and it is fun to watch these three try to solve their financial problems. Matt Dillon shows up as an FBI guy, Ann-Margret plays a love interest, and Christopher Lloyd plays a friend who has likely lost his mind.
It is all great fun to watch. If you are an older person, don't let the negative reviews keep you from going.
