The film is based on the true story of Forrest Tucker, who escapes from jail at the age of 70 then traipses around the country committing heists that somehow enchanting the public at the same time. He is pursued by detective John Hunt whilst also falls in love with a woman whilst on the run.
Starring Robert Redford as Forrest Tucker, as well as Sissy Spacek,, Danny Glover, and Lowery’s muse Casey Affleck, the film looks great and has a lot of charm in it. What do you think?
