Aging out
Michael Caine still has great hair.
Even though this deeply flawed film is a bummer. At least I thought so. I am a minority opinion in my house on that.
Of course there is a lot of charming or not scene thievery. A competition between the world class muggers.
I will not bother you about the plot, something about an aged out composer resting his last years in Switzerland. And a buddy. And a daughter. An ex wife who is surprisingly an over the top Jane Fonda. You could have fooled me.
It does have Paul Dano as a quiet genius but even he is stifled by a very talky script.
It just edges into a 3 out of Netflix5 because I like looking at old men practice their craft and the new ones learning from them. Otherwise, a shambles. Sentimental nonsense. Balderdash.
There.
That's it.
Balderdash.
