Review of The Old Man & the Gun (2018) by Riff J — 03 Jan 2019
A nice drama about the dramatic life of bank robber and prison escapee Forrest Tucker. It would have been even better if they featured the San Quentin escape and his robberies in more detail (and with more action vs drama).
Robert Redford does a great job in the lead role and Casey Affleck does well in a supporting role. Obviously dramatic liberties were taken but not as much as other 'true stories'. Fans of drama movies will surely enjoy this, but fans of crime movies will be left wanting more because a lot of focus is directed on his romantic relationship.
