ROBOT AND FRANK (M.I.F.F.)

Set in a near future, Frank (Frank Langella) is a bored retired cat burglar, rattling around his old house, trying to cope with the onset of senility, with his grown up children living far away. Frank’s son Hunter (James Marsden) gets him a robot helper to assist him around the house and try to keep him active and alert. Initially standoffish and unimpressed,  Frank gradually forms a bond with Robot, as he learns the Robot’s moral compass is not quite as centred as he first believed. Under the auspices of keeping Frank’s mind active, the two chums plot a heist together and the tale that ensues is both uplifting and bittersweet . Fantastic performances from a great cast (also including Susan Sarandon and Liv Tyler), Robot and Frank is a cracking movie.

M.I.F.F. Rating 5 out of 5
