Movies that feel likeGoing in Style (2017)

Desperate to pay the bills and come through for their loved ones, three lifelong pals risk it all by embarking on a daring bid to knock off the very bank that absconded with their money.

If you loved Going in Style, the closest films we have are Hustlers (2019), Logan Lucky (2017) and American Made (2017). All three share Going in Style's gritty and witty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Bad Santa (2003).
