(#5) The first film directed by Ron Shelton (still best known for his 1988 debut Bull Durham) in 14 years is a geriatric action comedy starring Morgan Freeman and Tommy Lee Jones as a former mob lawyer and FBI agent, respectively, who team up to defeat the mafia at their Palm Springs retirement village. The film lived up to its title, in a way: it opened on over 2,000 screens about a month ago and completely disappeared from theaters just two weeks later.

“Abysmal, unfunny, and ultimately, completely unnecessary.” —Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle
