GOLDEN
YEARS is a clever heist caper, featuring a group of old-age
pensioners whose pension funds have been lost, through bureaucratic
mishandling, leaving them in the lurch with no real recourse yet they refuse to
take the crisis at face value. They stumble onto a solution…rob banks.
The film features a strong cast of charming older British
character actors and actresses, and is an unexpectedly fun romp and
heart-warming tale.
Although not quite on par with The Best Marigold Hotel for ensemble acting amongst the older set or OAPs (old-age pensioners) as the Brits call them, or the crime level of The Grand Budapest Hotel, nonetheless, GOLDEN YEARS is quite charming in its own right.
