Tickets are still available for tonight’s screening of The Old Man & The Gun at the War Memorial Hall. 

The film – part crime thriller, part light comedy, part love story – is based on the ‘mostly true’ exploits of Forrest Tucker (played by Robert Redford) – a dapper 70 year old American career criminal and prison escape artist. In the early 1980’s, Tucker and the other members of the Over-the-Hill-Gang, pulled off an unprecedented string of bank robberies which confounded the authorities and enchanted the public.

In what is supposedly his last on-screen appearance, Redford delivers a memorable performance that’s right up there with his best work – and he’s ably supported by Sissy Spacek, Casey Affleck, Danny Glover, Tika Sumpter and Tom Waits.

“A fitting final turn from Redford, all easy charm and grace. It takes a lifetime of effort to look this effortless.”
Nev Pierce, Empire Magazine

“Flat-out charming, a movie stripped of the usual clichés about ageing…. and shot with the retro feel of a New Hollywood classic.”
Alistair Harkness, The Scotsman.

“Neither too clever for its own good nor simply a nostalgia-trip pastiche aimed only at chin-strumming cinephiles, it is, in a word, fun.”
Jamie Graham, Total Film
