Going in Style is an entertaining tale with excellent performances from three strong leads and more depth than might be expected from a heist comedy. If you haven’t seen it – or haven’t seen it in years – it warrants a revisiting. In fact, since I haven’t watched the film in a few decades, I’m off to dial it up on Amazon. Roll the trailer!
