Morgan Freeman’s character is very similar to Michael’s in financial struggles and wanting to be more with family. Not only was the heist a team effort, but each man contributed to the struggle and success of their heist. Along with this, he was anything but controlling of the group as it was a group effort to make the heist work the way it did. He was not after power he was not after wealth he was after just what they each needed to pay for their homes, debts, and more. What personally made his character better than most who control a robbery or bank heist is the fact that he stuck by his words. The center of the group is actually Joe (Michael Caine), who comes up with the bank heist idea after being held up at a bank just weeks before. Review Aside from the fact that these actors are legendary among film, their chemistry mixes well together both in laughable and heartbreaking moments. Positive Content: Despite their crime, the cast of three greatly showed how important their brotherly relationship was as they continue to grow in new areas during their old age. Drug/Alcohol References: Albert jokingly talks about cocaine for a brief moment and one scene shows all three of men smoking weed and being high on the drive home. Sexual Content: Though nothing is explicit is shown, Albert and Annie are shown in bed indicating that they just had sexual intercourse. Spiritual Content: As the Bible calls us to respect our elders let alone people in general, the film portrays a significant amount people respecting Willie, Joe, and Albert. Language/Crude Humor: One F-word is used during their first heist and the p**** is used from time to time along with other common swears. Content Guide Violence/Scary Images: No blood violence during the robberies. For this film in particular, it is nearly split down the middle if whether or not this modern take on a classic is enjoyable.
