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.

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

A mature couple take a stand against the banks after a pensions collapse.

I absolutely loved every single second of this movie, it's funny, moving, very different, and features some of Britain's finest mature actors. Funny, plenty of unexpected moments, and lots of great lines. As always with this type of film, there are plenty of moving scenes.

It's always great to see a mature cast in a film, everyone here a quality actor, what a cast list.

Some wonderful visuals, they picked some terrific locations to film at.

I can't make my mind up who steals this, Bernard Hillnot Brad Moore, Hill had me absolutely captivated, in acting terms he really stands out, such a wonderful actor, Moore on the other hand is hilarious, and drop dead gorgeous.

Loved it, 9/10.

I'd never heard of or knew about this film. I came across it on Netflix as I was looking for British films to watch.

If you like gentle British comedies/dramas similar to the Margery and Gladys film with June Brown and Penelope Keith, you'll love this. I'm not going to pull the film to pieces on improbabilities like some critics do, just watch it for the fun it is. There are many older British stalwarts of film and television in this and it's great to see them together here. I loved this film, though it will probably appeal to an older audience more than a younger one.

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.
