I hope one day I can be like them

The average age of the five leading actors is over 60 years old, and it is almost a curtain call for these lovely old guys, showing that they do not want to let Harrison Ford of "Indiana Jones 4" specialize in the front. The beginning of the film is a bit amazing, although the rhythm gradually slows down later, but it is finally relaxed. There are also some flaws in the plot, but who cares? It should be said that who has not prayed secretly in their hearts that when they reach this age, they can be as sharp and fierce as they are in the film, and have the courage to chase and protect what they love?
Extended Reading

Joe Matheson: We're gettin' the band back together.

[Frank calls Cooper on the phone; Cooper is told to stall him while the call is traced]
Frank Moses: Here's the thing, Cooper. With age... comes a certain perspective. I'd be a liar if I said there wasn't a time when I was exactly like you. Blind ambition. Misplaced trust.
William Cooper: Why are you telling me this?
Frank Moses: It may help me to decide what to do next.
Interrogation Surveillance Tech: [technician tracing the call whispering to Cooper] Just keep it going.
William Cooper: Why? What are you thinking about?
Frank Moses: Our business is a very hard one. But it was never the, uh... the killing or the stress, the bad pay that bothered me.
William Cooper: Well, what was it, Frank?
Frank Moses: It's how anything that you love... can be taken away from you. It taught me never to care. Never to invest. Then I met this woman. Sarah. And now you have her. Now I can't think of anything more horrible than to know that your enemies can hurt someone you love. The feeling is almost indescribable.
[the trace completes, and the technician hands Cooper a printout]
Frank Moses: You still there, Cooper?
William Cooper: [horrified] You're at my house
[Frank looks out the window into the yard where Cooper's wife and two children, unaware, are playing]
Frank Moses: Almost indescribable, isn't it?
William Cooper: [whispering] Please... Please don't hurt my family.
Frank Moses: If anything happens to Sarah, I will rip everything you love out of your life. And then I'll kill you.
