REVIEW: Going in StyleBy Quinn OxleyApril 8, 2017You know, I went into this film with absolutely no idea what it was about, and despite the fact that I could basically tell where it was going once it got started, I really enjoyed myself.  New official recommendation: don't read or watch anything about movies before seeing them.

Old men try to rob a bank.  That's really all this movie is about.  The bank is taking their money and they take it back.  And it's surprisingly entertaining.

Michael Caine actually seems to be phoning it in for Going in Style, while Morgan Freeman and Alan Arkin bring to the table their standard performances.

This was not the most underwhelming movie I've seen this year.  In fact, it was probably the most unexpectedly entertaining movie I’ve seen this year.  Interestingly shot, more or less decently written, with a relatively satisfying narrative - I actually enjoyed Going in Style.

Given, it's not top-notch entertainment.  It's no Ocean’s Eleven.  It can be cheesy and predictable and it's not always funny.  However, it's endearing enough to have been a pleasant surprise.

Is it good, though?

It’s not bad.  It’s better than to be expected of April, as most April releases are a waste of time.  Maybe not worth seeing in theaters, but definitely worth a rental.

Rating: 6/10
