Thelma

Never thought I'd watch - nay, enjoy - a heist movie whose protagonist is a 93-year-old lady, but here we are watching 2914's Thelma, which I got for Christmas.

It takes the trips of a heist movie and turns them on their heads. No spoilers, because I want you to watch and enjoy this movie.

Okay, one little spoiler: Be prepared for a scene where, instead of acrobatics to avoid laser beams, you get geriatric acrobatics as Thelma retrieves a gun from a friend's bedroom.

Speaking of the gun:

Ben: (As they stop at a friend's house to get a gun.) Do you even know how to use a gun?

Thelma: How hard can it be? Idiots use them all the time.

Another awesome line:

[Thelma tries to get past Ben, whose scooter she's trying to steal so she can do her heist]

Ben: You can't get through me. I've got a titanium hip.

One warning: There's a little language, including one complete f-bomb, so be prepared for that.

Also be prepared for a thoughtful exploration on how some of "the elderly" are dehumanized in the way society treats them.
