Erin M @RT81025529 Mar 20, 2025 The Forger is far from a perfect movie, but the story is compelling, and can I just say it, Christopher Plummer is an adorable old con man in this movie who I found so charming it was hard not to like the movie just because of him. The pacing was a little slow, but you know, I enjoyed it not being so fast paced. The subject matter called for it. It was supposed to be a somber themed movie giving you time to think about what you would do if you were in their circumstances. The heist was a little too easy, but I thought John Travolta's performance was compelling and quiet. It worked. I don't know why the overall ratings are so low. I'd think it should be in the mid-60's at least for overall rating. Don't believe all the negative reviews, if you are in the mood for a moody, crime-based movie, got for it with The Forger. This a good one to watch. Sometimes folks get it wrong. Audiences hated It's a Wonderful Life when it came out way back when & now it's a classic. I hesitated watching The Forger based to the ratings but I'm glad I did. I miss seeing Travolta more often at the movies-he's an interesting character actor now and still love seeing him on the screen. Tye Sheridan gave a nice, thoughtful performance and Abigail Spencer did a great job too. Wish they had given her character a bit more depth would be my biggest criticism. I think folks today want to see stuff blown up & tons of VFX when a well told story can be just as powerful. I wish Hollywood would get away from VFX, Comic Book stuff & come back to original scripts but I also get their struggle to find a consistent movie theatre audience post-COVID.

It's billed as a drama, not a thriller. It's more centrally focused on the relationship between a father, his son, and his son's son. It was never about the heist, it was about rejuvenating father son relationships, through the premise of an art heist. See more Larry L @RT53584283 Dec 12, 2024 This a great movie. Only disappoinment are the poor reviews . See more Dirk D @DirkD May 31, 2024 I found this movie to be most enjoyable. Even though the family was broken, the father still loved his son and found a way make him happy.
