Going In Style Review
Going in Style, is the new, spectacular, crime comedy starring distinguished actors Alan Arkin, Michael Caine and the extraordinary Morgan Freeman.
Zach Braff, the director of Going In Style, was one of the leads in the hilarious show scrubs in the early 2000’s. He also was the voice of Chicken Little and starred in Oz The Great and Powerful. Additionally, he has been nominated for multiple awards.
The premise of the movie is solely based on three elderly men, Willie (Morgan Freeman), Joe (Michael Caine) and Albert (Alan Arkin). When their pension funds go blank from the corporate company they work for, they must devise a plan to get their much needed money back by robbing a bank.
Throughout the film, the supporting cast shines. Their relationships and reactions with the other characters contributed to the main actors likability in a major way. Supporting actor Christopher Lloyd plays Milton and actress Maria Dizzia plays Rachel Harding, whom are two superb examples of the ladder.
Going in Style embodies the Brooklyn lifestyle and exemplifies the working class attitude that everyone goes through in the Brooklyn area.
I truly respect how the film had a classical type of comedy essence to it since it was a remake (Originally made in 1979). It could teach younger and undeveloped comedians what it takes to be comical. My only critique with the film is the ending because it only showed a bit of how everything happened, instead of doing this in the plot.
The intriguing script and unique comedy is something I grew to appreciate as I saw the film. I thought the action made it more appealing and the character development was exceedingly joyous to watch. Going in Style is something I highly suggest going to see because it will definitely exceed all expectations.

This review is top quality for the 2017 movie Going in Style. First, I think that it is good that you mentioned the director, Zach Braff, because since he played roles in a few popular movies and TV shows, people will probably think that this is a good movie to go to see in theaters or watch at home on DVD. I also enjoy how you shared your respect you had for the film, and I agree with you. I saw the movie in theaters the day it came out, and it was one of the funniest movies I had seen in a while. To conclude, I like how you did not go too much in depth of the plot, because when other people were to read this review who had never seen the movie, nothing would be spoiled for them. With being short and sweet, this is a very strong review.
