So today I'm feeling sorry for myself have just left hospital. Being in pain I wanted to be entertained as a distraction. This movie hit the spot. It has pulled together a Stella veteran cast. There was more talent on the screen than you could poke a stick at. The characters brought out the emotional turmoil that placed them in a situation where they were desperate. While a comedy, it raised questions of why the vulnerable are oppressed by banks, business and society and why in western societies we can not care for our elderly with dignity.
There are three big opportunities in this movie: three big actors, who are totally amazing and genius all together. Fantastic! And the plot is great too, it's Zack Braff, guys, what should I say more? Have a great movie time!
This movie was terrific-mind you that might be because I love Alan Arkin but I think it was just because it's such a feel good story. Totally enjoyable and the comedy was superb.
Joe Harding (Michael Caine) goes to the bank to confront his banker who is threatening to take his home. He has his daughter Rachel and granddaughter Brooklyn (Joey King) living with him. He witnesses a bank robbery and FBI Agent Arlen Hamer (Matt Dillon) dismisses him. He, and his friends Willie Davis (Morgan Freeman) and Albert Garner (Alan Arkin) lose their pension after a merger that moves the plant overseas. Willie needs a kidney and Albert has a fling with Annie Santori (Ann-Margret). As difficulties mount, the guys decide to rob a bank.This should be better than this. The grocery store robbery is silly. I'd rather they go buy guns and do a straight up robbery movie. They could skip a lot of this. Ann-Margret adds little more than senior babe quotient. The robbery and what happens after lacks reality. Not that reality should be holding this back. I do like some moments like the fake tattoo and finding the bank has taken their pension fund. This needs more. It needs to be funnier and/or more thrilling. The caper needs to be sharper. Zach Braff does a competent job and the movie is generally competent but not more than that.
