Here's one reason to see this based-on-a-true-story flick: Robert Redford in a fedora.
The story is okay: A guy who committed 17 robberies, went to jail 17 times, and smiled throughout. In this movie, he meets a gal (Sissy Spacek) who, despite her law-abiding ways, falls for him. But then, he is Robert Redford in a fedora.
In real life, it seems the guy became a bit of a folk hero, but the movie doesn't make much of that. It focuses instead on the detective (Casey Affleck) who can't get a grip on the slippery character.
The Movie Slut wishes this movie about a guy with a gun had more bang.
But then, it does have Robert Redford in a fedora.
