Storyline
Set in the near future, an ex-jewel thief receives a gift from his son: a robot butler programmed to look after him. But soon the two companions try their luck as a heist team.
The Buzz: The emotions brought out in this Sundance hit are genuine and mainstream-friendly, even though the oddball premise might relegate Jake Schreier's directorial debut strictly to art-house cinemas. Don't miss the chance to see top-tier actors tether an offbeat premise to the real world. I expect to see new projects from both Scherier and writer Christopher D. Ford (whose screenplay won at Sundance) announced by the end of the year.

A funny & touching film that is very effective at getting the audience to identify and empathize with Frank Langella's aging character, a former cat burglar who is gradually growing senile. Frank's son buys him a robot caretaker --a health-nut disciplinarian with a soft spot in its hardware heart -- and Frank eventually persuades the robot to be his partner-in-crime in some late-life capers he has planned.
The film is cleverly and ambiguously set in the "near future," so the 30- & 40-somethings of today could easily be the Franks of tomorrow: still using the slang of the 2000s & 2010s, not scared of the latest technology but still somewhat befuddled by it, and rather aghast when young people ask us about our quaint "relationship with printed media."
