    • Trivia
      In an interview he gave during the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival, Robert Redford talked about this comedic film being a good note to end on, since the actor wanted his "last acting job to be fun."
    • Goofs
      Forrest is arrested in 1981 at the age of 74, which puts his birth year at 1907. But a flashback shows him as a tween breaking out of a juvenile center in 1936--when he would have been 29.
    • Quotes

      Stephen Beckley Jr., Esquire: I remember I sat down with him once and I said, "Forrest, surely there's an easier way for somebody in your position to make a living." And he looked at me and he said, "Brother, I'm not talking about making a living. I'm just talking about... living."

    6/10
    Very slow feel good movie that display a type of addiction
    "The Old Man and the Gun" script is adapted from New Yorker article of the same name, that follows the (mostly true) story of the last years a life-long criminal and prison escape artist, bank robber Forrest Tucker (Robert Redford). To a lesser extent the movie is, also, the story of the man who will join the hunt for the robber, John Hunt (Casey Affleck), a police detective somewhat jaded with his job. For me, this was relative an enjoyable movie - for home screening - but that may not be enough to entice you into a theater. Maybe it will sound strange, but just like the slow-moving individuals in the movie, "The Old Man and the Gun" is somehow boring film that keeps you entertained, at a slower pace. 6+/7- out of 10.
