Golden Years

Surprisingly engaging, fast paced and taut story of the eldery fighting back again a society that has abandoned them which starts a but "get of my yard!" but soon develops a superb tone of proletarian rage.

Funny, poignant and intriguing, the police procedure aspect for once isn't dull and our heroes never stop being sympathetic.

The vibrant, sunny cinematography is appealing and I can't say I've seen much like it in a long while.

I am not convinced that it is feasible but the message that sometimes those who are breaking the rules are the good guys and those enforcing the law are not just makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. The solidarity among the elderly people is nice too.

Superb movie to watch with your parents (though do mention a little sex too though) and not half bad for the kids either.

Just loved this movie. So entertaining with .great humour and superb experienced cast. The social commentary is perhaps less percepible with US audience but it is great. Very well written, directed, filmed and edited. Shame Tom Jones did not appear in person..

On a wet August BH weekend I found this by chance...it put a smile on my face.

This film tells the story of an elderly man who accidentally stumble upon a case of cash from the security van outside a bank. He discovers that robbing a bank is easy, and goes robbing banks in order to save his social club from being sold to developers.

"Golden Years" is a lighthearted comedy, there is no question about that. It is hard to imagine two retired people robbing banks as easily as counting one two three! The heist scenes are more funny than exciting, and the police conclusions are simply funny. The authorities seem to be incompetent despite all the plan evidence, which is entertaining. There is suggestion of it possibly having a sequel, and I hope it will be as entertaining as this.

This was a film of gentle entertainment for people who like a cheery story and a pleasant viewing experience with a few laughs along the way.

If you like gritty crime drams, horror movies or deep and meaningful drama this will not be the film for you. If you would enjoy seeing the best of our stalwart British Actors still adding value in their latter years with a gentle story with an uplifting ending you might fare better.

A great soundtrack for baby- boomers. Look out for classic performances from the likes of Phil Davies who never fails to please.
