This is the point in the list where the movies go from "not bad" to legitimately good, while starting to head in the direction of "great." In "Going in Style," Joey King more than holds her own, despite a cast that is absolutely stacked with cinematic royalty such as Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Alan Arkin, Ann-Margret, and Christopher Lloyd. It's an impressive ensemble of immense talent from multiple generations of Hollywood, and King manages to not get lost in the shuffle, which speaks volumes about her talents and screen presence.
In the film, King plays the granddaughter of Caine's Joe, one of three elderly men who lose their pensions and decide to rob a bank. The premise might smack of one of those "old guys get into wacky shenanigans" comedies, but "Going in Style" mixes the funny with a lot of intelligence and heart, while not wasting the talents of its veteran leads like so many movies of this type do.
