Redford's (reportedly) last acting credit, is a satire on his entire career. An old bank-robber, a gentleman with a heart of gold, keeps on robbing banks and breaking out of prison, just for the adrenaline rush. Because if you don't live your life, what's it worth? Even the opening credits title font is the same as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The film does have its moments, glimpsing into old age, lingering on missing the chance of doing what you always really wanted to do. But if this is truly the walking legend's last act, I'm somewhat disappointed.
- Favorite line, voiced by the Sissy Spacek character:
"You can kinda lose track of yourself, you know? At least I did. And it's so easy to assume everything's fine and this is fine and this is the way things are supposed to be. You spend so much time thinking you're happy and one day you wake up and you realize, oh, ... maybe you aren't? Maybe you never were in the first place. Maybe you don't even know what that means. And then something happens, like, you lose someone or, even your kids grow up and leave home and you think ... what do I have left? Yeah, I'll miss him, there'll always be a part of me that will. But now, I think, ... now it's okay to be selfish."
