The Old Man & the Gun
Over the course of his entire life Forrest Tucker (Robert Redford) managed to escape from over 16 prisons and conduct an unprecedented string of bank robberies. Caught up in the pursuit are detective John Hunt (Casey Affleck), Jewel (Sissy Spacek), the woman who loved Forrest regardless, and his trusty sidekicks Teddy and Waller (Danny Glover and Tom Waits). This is his story. 
Based on the New Yorker article Written by David Grann, this true story adapted for screen and directed by David Lowery is another fine proponent to the idea that truth can sometimes be stranger (or at least more interesting) than fiction. Shot and edited to appear period appropriate, Lowery’s art of storytelling has a comfortable in its bones feel, adding just the right amount of suspense and whimsy to entertain and induce a chuckle at just the right moment. With a hugely talented and perfectly cast ensemble, all of the players are playing to their strengths with a particular nod to Redford for his inimitable charm and gentlemanly joi de vivre. This is an easygoing 93 minute ride and a fitting way for one of America’s favorite leading men to take a bow as he moves his career off screen. The Old Man & the Gun is rated PG-13.
