Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader This is a career-capping showcase for Redford, who with subtlety and ease goes out in style after a great long run. Mar 3, 2020 Full Review Jordan Hoffman amNewYork A late in the game montage is a crafty excuse to re-examine Redford's career. Rated: 4/4 Jan 10, 2019 Full Review Tim Grierson Screen International [A] meditative and thought-provoking look at mortality, commitment and people's penchant for chasing something they might never catch. Dec 26, 2018 Full Review Calum Cooper Source (Scotland) Tying it all together is an ambient, colourful script that effectively mixes genuinely heart-warming moments, and strong comedy that often mocks the bizarre nature of its premise. Rated: 4/5 Jul 14, 2024 Full Review tt stern-enzi Cincinnati CityBeat The region wears its own homespun appeal in much the same way as Tucker in squint-and-you-might-miss-it moments, where the skyline or a street corner pop up and nearly wink at audiences... Aug 26, 2023 Full Review Peter Bell Vague Visages Few actors are truly cross-generational in the manner media outlets make them out to be. Robert Redford, however, has earned this distinction.

d m #Recommended 5/10 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/25/24 Full Review Audience Member This is the first G rated movie I've seen in a long time. No sex, no violence, not even any curse words. Kind of refreshing, but a little boring overall. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Georgan G For his last film before retirement, Robert Redford again plays a charming bandit. The plot is supposedly true-ish, but it's hard to understand someone who lives for the thrill of maybe getting caught. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/17/24 Full Review Alec B Redford is utilized perfectly here. His natural charm makes this lovable bank robber all the more appealing. Also, Lowery's meticulous recreation of the early 80s is impressive. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/05/24 Full Review Gareth v A charming crime caper and a fitting way for Redford to sign off on his acting career. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/23/23 Full Review Jojo P Totally Legendary one of a wildwest.. well casted told story.. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
