I love Jeff Bridges, I hated him playing in THE VANISHING circa 1993 when he buried Sandra Bullock alive . Almost ruined him with me , like Bruce Dern killing John Wayne in THE COWBOYS ! This movie looks awesome though because I'm an old man too ! lol
i was almost his neighbor but my wife didnt want to build a house she wanted to buy one to just fix up...the land next to his in Montana was almost mine :/ i might have actually made an effort to meet the neighbors for the first time in my life...
Jeff Bridges is one of the only actors who makes you forget you're watching a movie. You totally believe you're watching a real person in real time doing real life stuff, and it looks like he's going to be killing everyone we all think deserve it.
Nah, he's going to give a divorced housewife half his assets and act like an absolute chump for her after the first 2 excellent episodes. Character of the first 2 episodes is a 180 from the rest. Classic bait and switch.
This is a cool show & it's so different seeing Jeff Bridges fight in hand to hand combat. I love When actors transform there acting from comedy to action or horror.

@@richardgrier8968 That's fantastic. I know that will surely be a big help to people diagnosed. May they keep the research going until there's a cure. ❤
I've been in love with Jeff Bridges since the first time I saw him in an episode with his father. What a handsome, wonderful, talented, great man he is! Thank God his health is AOK right now. Love you, Jeff!!! Simply just love you. God bless.
Although this is the re-telling of a story that Hollywood has told in numerous ways now with different actors, I'm a huge Jeff Bridges fan and I'm really looking forward to this. My gut tells me it's going to be great. 🎬
It's based on a novel by Edgar Award-winning author Thomas Perry who writes thrillers that move “almost faster than a speeding bullet” (Wall Street Journal). The Old Man is his latest whip-smart standalone novel. "To all appearances, Dan Chase is a harmless retiree in Vermont with two big mutts and a grown daughter he keeps in touch with by phone. But most sixty-year-old widowers don’t have multiple driver’s licenses, savings stockpiled in banks across the country, and a bugout kit with two Beretta Nanos stashed in the spare bedroom closet. Most have not spent decades on the run." "Thirty-five years ago, as a young hotshot in army intelligence, Chase was sent to Libya to covertly assist a rebel army. When the plan turned sour, Chase reacted according to his own ideas of right and wrong, triggering consequences he could never have anticipated. And someone still wants him dead because of them. Just as he had begun to think himself finally safe, Chase must reawaken his survival instincts to contend with the history he has spent his adult life trying to escape. Armed mercenaries, spectacularly crashed cars, a precarious love interest, and an unforgettable chase scene through the snow-this is lethal plotting from one of the best in crime fiction."
@@timweaver7826 Efficiency and skill do not degrade with those who train and train and train…experience only sharpens those aspects…. We would underestimate old warriors at our own peril. The character is relevant and not unrealistic in the story’s scenario.
@@jlgotabigmac I want the whole outer range series. It was interesting, Josh Brolin was great. There were some holes in the story but I let them get away with it.
I just finished watching the first episode and already I’m hooked. I knew 10 mins into it I was gonna love it. Awesome. So happy to hear they’re doing a second season 👏
Yep, I don't know is it just me but a lot of actors and actresses seem to be doing these smaller films instead of these mega productions that nee tons of money??
The trailer doesn't give a proper representation of the show. It's mostly a lot of talk and some woman totally controlling him after the first 2 episodes. Very sad and very Hollywood. The big bad superbrain is most likely an Afghan child bride.......
It's a show and I totally agree with you about being able to understand his dialogue. By no means am I saying it's his fault or anything bad it's a good thing.
This is the perfect example of rehashing a storyline that never gets old ( no pun intended) and this looks so good based on the trailer and Jeff Bridges being cast in it.
I grew up watching this man, his brother, and father. I'll be watching this movie. Nice to see you're still killin' it, Jeff. Stay strong, and keep enjoying the ride, brother. God Bless.
Jeff Bridges is perfect for this part, grumpy, honest, loving, but when he speaks you believe everything , also the writing of the scripts are very good, best series on the TV at the moment 👊🏼
The book by Thomas Perry is awesome!! Of course all of Perry’s books are great! To have Jeff Bridges in the lead role is just fantastic!! Can not wait!
Yes it’s a different story. Some similarities but different and excellent story. If I remember right the Butchers Boy continues with Sleeping Dogs, The Informant and then Eddie’s Boy. I really enjoy all of Perry’s books
This trailer already looks better than the book... which as you must admit, for Thomas Perry, had a lot of flaws and baggage that needed to be cleaned up.
YES YES YES! Yes Jeff Bridges, get some! This is so awesome to see him coming back into an action role! Also hope the dogs are ok...that show of him driving away from them, oh my heart.
those dogs are bad asses, they saved him twice, when he was driven away by the FBI dude, they kept on running far behind that suv until hr was able to kick the guy and make him crash, oh boy, the FBI guy looked up and there they were, one in front of his face, the other tight by his balls, bad situation for him. I didn't know he had cancer? you know that so many hollywood actors had cancer in the past? I wonder if there is something causing it on their movies?
This looks AMAZING!!! Why in the hell have I never heard of this, or at least seen a trailer for it before now?!? I'm going to go check it out RIGHT NOW!!! 👍💯
Love Jeff Bridges. Looking forward to seeing this. I have been watching trailers on this channel for the last two hours. I have a ton of movies I now want to see very soon.
This is a terrific series and the old man character isn't your typical curmudgeon. Wonderful cast and acting. Think of it, Bridges has been acting since his father's Sea Hunt show, which I watched in reruns as a kid. So many great roles later.
UNKLE feat Thom Yorke (of Radiohead, yes) - Rabbit In Your Headlight, with some edits to timing it better with the trailer. Works fantastically with a Bridges movie, indeed, but the original is still the best, and one of the best songs ever written/composed imho.
Jeff Bridges is always worth watching. Bill Heck does an amazing younger version. In this show, I believe he is the younger version Jeff’s character. Two amazing actors both playing one person believably at different ages. 🥰👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.
Wait a minute, I thought John Lithgow was dead, glad he's not obviously lol. But wow....this looks good. I love both actors so I will be checking this out.
I’m in the middle of episode four, and I think this is already one of the best shows I have ever seen. The writing is unmatched, it has a similar feel to season one of True Detective, yet, and I can’t believe I’m going to say this, I think it’s even better.
This is a series that snuck up on me. I heard about this one from someone while discussing the Terminal List which is a great novel & book series, & a good show in its own right, but this, this is amazing TV. I have akways loved Lithgow since Harry & the Henderson's as a kid & later Raising Cain & more recently 3rd Rock & Dexter. I also have grown up with Jeff Bridges as Tron was one of the first movies I recall watching on VHS at home. I am only two episodes in & I am battling with not binging the remaining three as it is so good as they develop the characters & unravel the story. There just isn't a good stopping point & I am thankful & tempted that I don't have to wait a week for the next episode. This is a must watch & one my wife & I will both enjoy.
Holy crap did Jeff beat Leukemia? I haven't heard from him in while, never in a million years did I expect to see him starring in an action series next.
Love this show!! Jeff Bridges is so bad ass and I love the dogs but I get so worried that something is gonna happen to one of them. Just an awesome show!!
