THE OLD MAN AND THE GUN 2018
BY

Robert Redford is walking into sunset.Forrest
Tucker gonna be his final acting assignment,and what a Redfordesque character
he turned out to be .A lovable rogue,a charming crook,a compulsive felon- who
else but Redford to play this one ?
Tucker was a career criminal and a prison
escape artist.He could not help committing bank robberies,getting caught and
then escaping from custodies.That was his life.Such was the man.
Eyewitnesses consistently described him as a charming man who made victims do as he told.They were not offended by either his crime or his manner.Redford has done a great job here.

Casey Affleck is quite earnest as a rookie
cop on his hunt.Sissy Spacek falls for him despite having an idea about who he
really is.The film because of a powerful story and good performances,as well as
his short length.This is one factor which makers and editors must keep in mind.
