Simple and Pleasant
Zach Braff, one of my favorite actors/Directors/ humans...loved every episode of Scrubs, loved movies Garden State, Wish I was here and now Going in Style. 3 friends Joe(Michael Caine), Willie( Morgan Freeman) and Albert (Alan Arkin) hang out together. Joe lives with daughter and granddaughter and Willie and Albert live together. All three have their share of money and health problems. The movie is about Joe's decision to rob a bank to end money problems and how little it takes to convince Willie that the idea is good. Albert the youngest of the 3 needs a lot of convincing to join the other two and get involved. Zach Braff focuses on simple minds and simple lives. Script is simple. Really liked the way Annabelle Chow as Lucy was important in the end and John Ortiz as Jesus who respects and follows Cult principles ended the movie. Nice direction. Glad I spend 1 hr 36 minutes with pleasant characters and good story/script. I look forward to some more good movies by Zach Braff.
