This film tells the story of three hard working pensioners, who have given decades of their lives working for a factory. One day, they are told that their pensions will be stopped, leaving them penniless. They come up with a plan to rob a bank to recuperate their lost pensions.
"Going in Style" seems to be a heist film, but most of the screen time is dedicated to setting the scene, and the planning process. THe actual heist has little screen time, but the story is engaging nonetheless. The desperation and frustration of them losing their pension is palpable, and evoke much sympathy from viewers. I like Alan Larkin's character, as he appears to be unapproachable and yet he is not like that deep down. Michael Caine is great as a man who is desperate as well. I enjoyed the story, and it gives me smiles and satisfaction.
