732701, The Old Man & the Gun (David Lowery, 2018)

Lowery directed the fuck outta this shit. And of course the entire cast kills it. But overall it falls flat.
Not bad. Just not as good as it could be.

732702, I actually thought this was really damn good.

My only qualm is that it was so overtly stylized to look like a movie from the early 1980s. It's no big deal, but that element just felt a little too cute to me.
(Actually, speaking of "too cute", I guess all the old clips of Redford kinda fall in that category, too. But he's earned his farewell.)
Overall, though, I loved it from start to finish. Don't know that I'll ever see it again. But I'll recommend it to all the old people I know.
