Just Getting Started
Film legends Morgan Freeman and Tommy Lee Jones are golf game course rivals who are forced to put away their differences and squad up to fend off gangster in the new Ron Shelton comedyJust Getting Started . Rene Russo co - stars as the woman both Freeman and Jones are endeavor to print with their competitive Alpha male antics .
Though both thespian have been in flims for many decades , appearing intons of great(andnot - so - great ) movies , Just Getting Startedamazingly mark off the first meter Morgan Freeman and Tommy Lee Jones have work together on - screen . Between them , Jones and Freeman have been nominated for a sum of nine Academy Award with each win one apiece .
Broad Green Pictures has dropped a new trailer for the comedyJust Getting Started . Freeman run Duke Diver , manager of the luxury Palm Springs resort the Villa Capri . The free - gamy Diver is the unchallenged king of the swinging resort , and definitely the favorite of all the ladies , until one twenty-four hour period Tommy Lee Jones ' Leo shows up . An ex - military human race with as much prance as Diver , Leo is cursorily contend for the affections of Suzie ( Russo ) , the newly - arrived fair sex who also pass to have caught Duke ’s eye .
This may sound likeGrumpy Old Menin Palm Springs , but as the prevue shows , there ’s really a twisting : it turn out Duke is a former mob lawyer who has gone into witness auspices , but now the gang is onto him and they ’re examine to chafe him out . Would n’t you know it , the only one who can protect Duke from the mobsters on his tail is his romantic and golf game row rival Leo . With that , Grumpy Old Menturns into something more likeMidnight rill .
The high - conceptJust Getting Startedmay sound punch-drunk and derivative , and not exactly the Morgan Freeman - Tommy Lee Jones coaction of our dreams , but with writer - director Ron Shelton at the helm there ’s a decent prospect the photographic film will ferment out to be smarter and funny than it seems . Shelton has been quiet in recent year , but once upon a time he was an Alpha dog in Hollywood , with his trinity of classic athletics comediesBull Durham , White Men Ca n’t JumpandTin Cup . MaybeJust Getting Startedcan be a saltation - back for Shelton , whose last feature article film writer - director credit was for the disappointing ( to say the least ) Harrison Ford vehicleHollywood Homicide .
Even ifJust get Startedultimately does n’t measure out up to Shelton ’s classic of the ' 80 and ' 90s , at least it afford us the chance to see silver screen icons Morgan Freeman and Tommy Lee Jones together on the blind . Tommy Lee Jones also has a function line up in the new Brad Pitt sci - fi filmAd Astra , while the always - busybodied Morgan Freeman is set to appear as Trumbull inAngel Has Fallen(he was Speaker of the House inOlympusand VP inLondonso logically in the next picture show he ’ll be president ) .
