Robert Redford is simply mesmerizing here. His performance shows that even in his seventies this guy can pull off whatever role he asked for. Read more

This efficient account charms with a breezy fluidity, also displaying decorous looks and settings that conjure up that slightly opaque glow of the 1980s. Read more

An unashamedly rather corny and predicable affair - albeit in the finest and most heartfelt manner possible.

A fond farewell to one of Hollywood’s most charismatic leading men, the incomparable Robert Redford, and it will be a real crime if you miss it! Read more

If you're a fan of the movies Lowery is evoking here, his film's '70s aesthetic and Redford's unique charm will have you smiling throughout, but you may find yourself hungering for a more substantial take on Tucker's life when the credits have rolled. Read more

The story is light and whimsical, but thanks to the veteran actors and the slyly understated direction, it’s got a frisky heart that won’t quit. Read more

A pleasantly breezy cops and (aging) robbers tale anchored by Redford's charismatic performance - be it his last one or not. Read more

Even with Redford’s fine performance, supported well by turns from Spacek and Affleck and the rich style the film embodies through its music and visuals The Old Man & the Gun still falls far short of being anything overly memorable. Read more

It has a strong engaging beginning but by the end it does drone, dragging out what should have been a relatively speedy 93-minute running time. There are some funny moments but it’s more ha than haha. Read more

The Old Man and the Gun is geen actierijke film. Het is eerder een gezapige feel-good film die op een rustige manier het verhaal van deze unieke bankovervaller uit de doeken doet. Read more

De charme van Redford, spitse dialogen en gevatte humor staan centraal. Dit alles wordt ondersteund door mooi camerawerk, een prima soundtrack en natuurlijk bovengemiddeld goed acteerwerk van de gehele cast. Read more

De film voelt ondanks zijn relatief korte speelduur eindeloos aan en het plot is zo doorzichtig als een zeef. Read more

Suf plot, loom acteerwerk, loungemuziekje als soundtrack: de film heeft de amusementswaarde van een potje zomeravondvoetbal. Read more
