"This is actually one of Redford's best performances. What ruins is the unnecessary story between his character and the very dull Casey Affleck's character. If it just stuck with his illegal hobby, his two comrades and his new love interest the film would have been a well-paced delight. "

A good movie

“To be honest, I had actually no idea what this movie was about but since I have a weak spot for Robert Redford and since it might be his last leading part, I thought I might as well check it out.

" DVD- 1hr. 33min. First Viewing It's a relatively slight and, mostly, breezy film, but The Old Man & the Gun is funny and heartfelt coda this type of lead character, and to the career of it's leading man.
