'The Old Man & the Gun'

October 13, 2018 by Sean P. Means

Many movie buffs would argue that Robert Redford’s best years as an actor were from 1969 to 1976, when he was at the height of his movie stardom, with a string of heavyweight films that included “Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid,” “Downhill Racer,” “Jeremiah Johnson,” “The Candidate,” “The Way We Were,” “The Sting,” “Three Days of the Condor” and “All the President’s Men.”

That’s one hell of a run, but I’d argue the string he’s on now — starting with his one-man 2013 drama “All Is Lost,” and including “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” “A Walk in the Woods,” “Truth,” “Pete’s Dragon,” the Netflix films “The Discovery” and “Our Souls at Night,” and his latest and possibly last one, the heist comedy “The Old Man & the Gun” — is just as good.
