Legendary actor Robert Redford is reportedly retiring from acting after “The Old Man and the Gun,” which opened on September 28. He stars in the film as real-life bank-robber Forrest Tucker, a career criminal who spent his life robbing banks, getting arrested and escaping prison. Rinse and repeat. Is this film a fitting farewell for the man whose career breakthrough came almost 50 years ago in “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” (1969)?
As of this writing “Old Man” has a MetaCritic score of 81 and an 89% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
