Going In Style (2017 Zach Braff)

Written by Theodore Melfi (based on a story by Edward Cannon) and starring a trio of Oscar winners Morgan Freeman (Million Dollar Baby), Alan Arkin (Little Miss Sunshine) and Michael Caine (Hannah and her Sisters, The Cider House Rules), who has worked in the US for thirty years but somehow retained a British Accent (thankfully). Topically, they elect to rob the same bank that is depriving them of their pensions. With Ann-Margret, John Ortiz, Matt Dillon, Joey King (also from Fargo), Christopher Lloyd, Josh Pais, Peter Serafinowicz.

Shot in widescreen by Rodney Charters. Quite clever; fun.


P.S. 19/5/22. Only just realised this is a remake: the original 1979 version starred Art Carney, George Burns and Lee Strasberg
