Robert Redford's final film role as an actor is not bad, but it could have been better. Bob is a seventy-something year-old bank robber with good manners. This is based on a true story and the supporting cast is excellent, from Sissy Spacek as a love interest to Casey Affleck as the cop in pursuit of the criminal. Tom Waits is under used as a fellow bad guy. Check out The Ballad of Buster Scruggs for a better use of Mr. Wait's talents as both an actor and songwriter. The film moves quickly and has an easygoing style and at only ninety two minutes an okay diversion for an evening.
