Just finished watching #TheOldMan with #JeffBridges amongst others.
Superb performances all round and beautiful cinematography. A compelling story-line. Doesn't get much better than this, IMO.
Sadly cancelled after 2 seasons, with obviously more story to tell.
The old man put down his pipe and spoke.
Life is short, he said, it passes by one day at a time, without fanfare, and then suddenly we realise it's all gone. I wish I could meet my younger self and beat some sense into the careless young man I then was.
What would you say to him?
Get enough sleep. Eat well. Always have some chicken stock in the fridge. That sort of thing.
He picked up his pipe and took a few gentle puffs.
Who knew a quiet retiree with two dogs could be this dangerous? 🐾
Thomas Perry’s The Old Man is part slow-burn spy thriller, part unexpected action ride with a few head-scratching choices along the way.
