Jeff Bridges remains as sharp an actor as ever while capturing the vulnerabilities of his aged character in TheOldMan.
Following my review in praise of the engaging new FX drama series The Old Man, which follows a still great Jeff Bridges as a former spy who must go on the run, there were two primary responses. First was concern about whether the dogs are going to be okay. No comment on that. The second, and more interesting one, was about whether the show would fall into the recent trajectory of what I’ll call old man action fare.

On the emotional side, this means he will frequently feel conflicted about what he must do and become drawn to people as he doesn't really have anyone left to be close to. On the physical side, he struggles to get out of a jam in a way that creates a great deal more tension.
While not every action story is going to be a nuanced character study, The Old Man shows the value in making your protagonist more than just a cardboard cutout who can beat people up. While there is plenty of skull-cracking that Chase must do, he also gets his own bell rung more than a few times. The human body is fragile, and the character is not as young as he once was, making each new conflict carry with it a sense that this could be his last.
