An Unfinished Life - movie reviews and information

Robert Redford, Morgan Freeman shine in 'An Unfinished Life'
by Eleanor Ringel Gillespie

See if this sounds familiar. A feisty but troubled young woman intrudes on the lives of a grizzled but still drop-dead handsome older man and his best friend (played by Morgan Freeman). The latter was badly hurt a few years ago in an incident for which his buddy feels responsible. Nope, it's not "Million Dollar Baby." It's "An Unfinished Life," starring Freeman, Robert Redford and Jennifer Lopez. There's no late-in-the-movie tear-jerking surprise. But there is a bear. Read the full review

TO SUM UP
Still in shock from his only son's death a decade ago, retired rancher Einar Gilkyson (Robert Redford) has let his marriage as well as his ranch fall into ruin. Now he spends his days caring only for his injured hired hand and trusted friend Mitch (Morgan Freeman) until his daughter-in-law (Jennifer Lopez), whom he blames for his son's death, shows up — broke and on the run.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: B-
"Not exactly new themes, but they're delivered by two of our best actors, men who've earned our affection and respect for years. Any chance to spend time with them should be welcomed."
