Robot & Frank

4 stars
Indie, Drama
Good movie starring Frank Langella as a retired cat burglar whose son (James Marsden) buys him a robot (Peter Sarsgaard) as a caretaker. Langella finds the robot useful with indulging in old habits. Susan Sarandon costars as a librarian Langella loves to flirt with, and Liv Tyler plays Langella’s daughter. There is some wry humor as well as a bit of a somber feel as Langella struggles to feel relevant in an age where technology is taking over. Very well done.
