Critics Consensus

Despite the considerable talent of its leads, Going in Style is light on laughs and plays it safe far too often.

1.5/5

Originality is not the purpose of Going in Style, the kind of old-fashioned entertainment that gives old-fashioned entertainment a bad name.

Freeman and Arkin are spot on, but it is Caine who stands out.

Another of those films that pretends to show older people respect while actually treating them like comic nincompoops

What we have here is the same kind of movie Robert De Niro has been making almost exclusively for the last five years: a stubborn celebration in denial of the effects of aging. [Full review in Spanish]

2.5/4

The delicate balance between humor and pathos that informed the original has been replaced with broader gags and more blatantly manufactured sentiment.

3/5

Purely made to get a few good chuckles out of the audience who are probably all around the same age as these characters. Will easily appeal to that demographic...

You have seen this movie "before". Happy, light, feelgood, and that is ok. The music is very familiar, but as I said, you have seen this movie before. An easy movie, and fairly easily forgotten.

Is it completely original? No. But it does keep you guessing whether they will be caught or not to the very last minute.

Going in style was exactly what you’d expect from a bank heist - gone geriatric. It was very fun to watch and was light hearted, I would recommend to anyone. The banker is quite funny and the film even comes full circle as the young saves the old by the end. This isn’t a complex or difficult storyline, and I definitely laughed a few times. Very remniscent of “last vegas” and “the bucket list”. Some buddies trying to have fun with nothing left to lose as the end of life comes near. The main investigator did a great job, and so did the girl at the end. What a fun way to end a tale like this and bring everything together.
