movie review - Going in Style

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2019.04.22

This is the story of three retirees who decide to pursue a life of crime to pay the bills after they're screwed by the company for which they'd all given a life's labor. Now being sucked dry by a bank (the scandal) it's time to arm themselves and knock off that bank.

Things don't go according to plan, of course, and it's the consequences that drive half this thing. It's a bit uneven but with a charismatic cast and a steady tone I enjoyed it.

Recommended.

I like my buddies from west Texas. I liked them when I was young, I liked them when I was middle-age, I liked them before I was president, and I like them during president, and I like them after president.
