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.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 14, 2024

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...

Few actors are truly cross-generational in the manner media outlets make them out to be. Robert Redford, however, has earned this distinction.

“For my money, David Lowery has been as much fun to watch as any filmmaker of his generation.”

| Jan 12, 2023

The Old Man and the Gun lacks an emotional payoff between its two legendary leads and left me running on empty.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 17, 2022

The performances throughout prevent Lowery's overly self-conscious technique from distracting the viewer beyond recovery.

Episode 15: The West Was Red

| Original Score: 80/100 | Sep 1, 2021

The mostly true story of Tucker and his life of crime and passion is a low-key affair anchored by the easy charms of Redford and Spacek.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 1, 2021

The Old Man & the Gun is simply, purely joyful. It's not an ecstatic joy, but it's a deeply comfortable one.

Somehow you don't think this will be the end for Robert Redford. That's not the lasting impression that Lowery leaves. But if he does keep to his promise, then his swan song ends on a high note.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 27, 2020

[W]hile iconography and cultural allusions are very much within the Western genre, it's refined and smooth like the French films of the late '50s and '60s.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 25, 2020

Something about it feels like a comfy recliner, and watching an often underrated actor like Redford really shine is a perfect tribute to his understanding of filmmaking.

| Jun 23, 2020

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

Lowery, who had the unenviable task of directing someone who has both a Best Director and Best Picture Oscar, is at the top of his game.

| Jan 21, 2020

A throwback caper film filled with great performances from legends and new greats.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Jan 10, 2020

This touching, funny, romantic bank heist trip back to the late 70's is constructed with precision.

| Aug 20, 2019

The film is lighthearted and fun; more poetic than pulpy. It's a cops-and-robbers story ... in which the cop and robber have mutual affection.

| Aug 19, 2019

A positively rapturous send-off for star Robert Redford's storied career.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 17, 2019

Redford picked a strong project to be his swan song and Lowery made sure he rode off into the sunset with dignity and flair.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jul 10, 2019

Bank robber Forrest Tucker, a courtly senior cit with a quick, disarming smile, blazes a light-fingered trail through Texas in 1981.
