Stories Related to Screen Scene: Charm Overcomes Most Flaws In ‘going In Style’

When their pensions disappear, Willie (Morgan Freeman, left), Joe (Michael Caine) and Albert (Alan Arkin) decide to rob a bank in “Going in Style.” (AP) By M. Scott Morris Daily Journal This is my second attempt at writing a review for “Going in Style.” The first was more or less a list of things that didn’t work in the movie, which stars Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Alan Arkin as retired men who decide to rob a bank. The problem with my first try was it didn’t take into account how entertaining “Going in Style” is despite its many flaws. So I took some time to think about why I left this silly movie feeling better than when I’d arrived. I realized it’s a throwback, and not just because it’s a remake of the 1979 original that starred George Burns, Art Carney and Lee Strasberg. Simply put, the three lead actors and the ever-stunning Ann-Margret are fun to watch on screen.
