    Not much nutrition but everything is well orchestrated, feel good movie of the year. The first time to catch up with the director's Q&A,...

    It's slow, boring, and casual; a slightly deliberately restrained narrative. If it weren't for Grandpa Robert Redford's support, the whole film would have collapsed. #A very mainstream business story, it's unexpected to tell it like...

    Saw it at the cinema. I'm asleep. I don't know how long I slept. However, I slept...

    8.4 Very romantic, Redford’s every move is full of charm, and the scene where the two male protagonists meet one after the other is quite thoughtful. Of course, you can say that the script is warm, but the character also exudes fascinating brilliance in this time and again very non-tact...

    I really like this movie! The effect of the 16mm shot is so beautiful (low-key dazzling skills are also very powerful)! Why a robbery movie feels soooo awkwardly and subtly and sweetly romantic; and also very humorous; I was shocked when I saw the desolation and joy of life scale in my heart at last; I should speak without climax for an uncomplicated thing It’s great to tell the story in such a...

    Romantic and cute! The soundtrack of the photography is the same as the previous ones, and the sketches with nothing new are so fun to shoot! The two seniors are calling, and Cassie's character is...

    Old-fashioned, exquisite, there is no ups and downs, only the persistence of the elderly. Redford is still so attractive, and wears back Tiger Leopard Little Bully in minutes....

    Redford's charismatic act at the curtain call made for this old-school but characterful western robbery film, and the chemistry with Spicer is even more unforgettable, and David Lowe is clearly one of the few in America today. A few new directors who know how to make elegant movies, the understatement tension is enjoyable, and even a bit...

    "The Old Man and the Gun," however, no shots are fired (and the hand pretends to be a gun in the flashback, superimposed on the fake gun soundtrack). The anachronistic part of Robert Redford's "gentleman" image? Especially in the MeToo era. Robert Redford, as a planner, made a conscious farewell to the film industry. Two-line narrative, (plot) accidental (but structurally necessary) meeting, the provocation of catch me if you can. The girly feel of Sissy Spacek. Danny Glover, Tom Waits. Casey...

The Old Man & the Gun quotes

  • Forrest Tucker: If I ever wonder what I'm doing or where I'm going, I just think to myself: "Is that little kid I was when I was just about this tall," I say, "well now, would he have been proud of me?" And if the answer is "no", well then I just keep walking on through. But if the answer is "yes", then I know I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.

    Jewel: So is he proud of you? That little boy?

    Forrest Tucker: Oh, he's getting closer every day.

    Jewel: But you're never exactly where you're supposed to be, are you? I mean, 'cause if you are, you're dead. And little ten year-old you, he's... y'know, he might have hopes and dreams, but he doesn't understand time or the world like you do. So, I think you gotta keep on keeping on, just living your life, trying new things, just gotta keep on pushing.

  • John Hunt: I figured out who he is.

    Maureen: And?

    John Hunt: He's a guy... who is old... but used to be young... and he just really loves robbing banks.

    Maureen: That's it?

    John Hunt: That's it.

    Maureen: Just like you're a guy... who's a cop... who's gonna catch him.
