"Going in Style" was a movie that debuted back in 1979. Now, 38 years later, Hollywood has done a remake of this comedy. I am not particularly a fan of remakes...and this one did nothing to change my opinion.
Three old men have just learned their pension fund has been looted...so they decide to rob a bank (the connection seemed to make little sense to me). The film is about these old geezers (Alan Arkin, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine) and their robbery....which came off amazingly well considering none of them had committed any crimes before this.
The problem with the film is the 'meh factor'. In other words, after seeing the film, I felt very ambivalent....and I neither liked nor disliked it. A time-passer....nothing more.
