Going in Style Film Review


Finished watching Going in Style, directed by Zach Braff and staring Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Alan Arkin, Maria Dizza and Joey King. The film opens up with Joe Harding (Michael Caine) going to his local bank when it becomes the centre of a bank hist. When Joe goes to meet with his friends Willie (Morgan Freeman) and Albert (Alan Arkin) where they go to a meeting at their old work place where a spokesman for the factory saids that the company's pension scheme is to be scrapped and use to fund the company's change to move to different countries. This than gives Joe the idea and more of an initiative rob his own back especially when he gets an eviction letter from the bank to say that he has a month to make a payment for his mortgage before he's left homeless along with his daughter, Rachel (Maria Dizza) and granddaughter, Brooklyn (Joey King). Overall this was a good film as it brings to life a very intriguing hist story with a nice amount of character and comedic moments blended into the film. The interactions between the main cast are great as it's used to help it bring their friendship to the forefront of the film with it feeling like a real relationship thanks to how well the actors work together in bring the film to life. Which the the comedic moments that feel very organic with the timing from the actors and the way the film has been written to play off how the characters have been created. 7/10
