Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Alan Arkin in GOING IN
STYLE.
|
Another week, another remake?
That summarized the initial thought about GOING IN STYLE. There aren’t many modern film fans who’ll
recognize that the film is a remake of a George Burns (who?) comedy.
The remake shares plenty of cinematic DNA with its
predecessor, but has a more daunting challenge.
Burns and co-stars Art Carney and Lee Strasburg were veterans and legends
by that time.
Who could director Zach Braff get to match that pedigree? He pulls it off by giving us three Oscar winners in Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Alan Arkin.
