With this film, 82-year-old Robert Redford has said he retires from acting. While based on a real-life American serial robber and prison escape artist called Forrest Tucker, The Old Man & the Gun never lets you forget this fact. From the first frame to the last, the film is an ode to that gentle old man of Hollywood who has never believed in histrionics, and doesn’t allow any here either, as well as to perhaps his most memorable role: that of the Sundance Kid.
Like that other legendary robber, Redford’s Tucker sports a hat, blond hair, and thick moustache, tinged by age. Like that robber, he finds love, in the form of Jewel (Sissy Spacek), and the two spend several warm afternoons and evenings lounging around in the porch talking about life and other things, with a dog at their feet and horses in her ranch (Redford and Spacek bond well together, providing some of the film’s most honest touches). Like that robber, the film leaves what eventually happened to Tucker unsaid.
