Movie Review: 'Old Man and the Gun' Starring Robert Redford
Celebrate Robert Redford with his final leading man role in David Lowery's 'Old Man and the Gun.'
Robert Redford announced his retirement from acting in 2019. That means that his final performance is his role in the David Lowery helmed Old Man & the Gun. If that is indeed the case, that Mr. Redford is truly retired, he goes out on a pretty great note, playing a character that suits him. The consummate charmer, Redford plays bank robber Forrest Tucker with the kind of half-smile and glint in his eye which marked his all time greatest performances.

Movie Review: Ugly and Insipid 'Don't Breathe 2' Didn't Need to Exist
Don’t Breathe 2 begins from the flawed premise that the serial murderer and rapist at the center of the first film can somehow be rehabbed into an anti-hero. Stephen Lang’s ‘The Blind Man’ murdered teenagers who simply wandered into the wrong house looking to steal something, yes, and then they stumbled into his rape room. To say as a filmmaker that you want to further explore this character but from the perspective of a hero is strange to say the least and misguided at best.
