Review of The Old Man & the Gun (2018) by Travis W — 15 Dec 2018
The Old Man and the Gun is the kind of film that slaps a big grin on your face right from the start. Part of the effect is certainly the easy charm of the leading man, Mr. Robert Redford, who still somehow maintains a look of boyhood innocence just behind the creases of age.
The amiably paced story is another factor. This film isnâ(TM)t afraid to take its time, but itâ(TM)s still capable of surprising its audience around every turn. Most of all, this film exudes a love for movies and for moviemaking more than anything.
Writer-director David Lowery, steeped in the film aesthetics of the 1970s, proves himself both an aficionado and a worthy craftsman of cinematic art.
