Robert Redford portrays Forrest Tucker (a true life criminal) in "The Old Man & The Gun." Tucker started his life of crime as a teenager and has been in and out of jail ever since as well as executing plenty of successful escapes from jail -- the last one at age 70. The movie co-stars Sissy Spacek as a love interest who is unaware of the real Forrest Tucker. Casey Affleck plays the detective determined to catch Tucker after discovering his identity and his role in the "Over The Hill Gang" -- made up of Tucker and 2 friends who are robbing banks all over the country.
I'd read a write up of this movie and the story interested me. It's billed as a "charming comedy that will steal your heart" but I couldn't see it as a comedy. I always enjoy watching Robert Redford in any role, though! pazt
