“Going In Style” (*** out of four) was an often very remake of the 1979 comedy about three down-on-their-luck senior citizens (Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Alan Arkin) who become fed up with cutbacks to their retirement and health insurance and decide to throw caution to the wind and rob a bank! Terrific chemistry and camaraderie between the three leads enhance Theodore Melfi’s script which is sharp and at times touching. Christopher Lloyd is amusing as one of Arkin’s friends who is combating a very forgetful memory and Ann Margaret has one of her most memorable recent roles as Arkin’s new flame. A small winner all around.
