An aging thief with a fading memory finds his love for larceny reinvigorated after receiving a companion robot from his concerned son in this tender sci-fi comedy-drama starring Academy Award nominee Frank Langella. Frank (Langella) is a former criminal living out his twilight years in quiet solitude. Though frequent trips to the local library keep him physically active and mentally stimulated, there's little question that his memory isn't what it used to be, and lately his grown children have begun to express concern over the fact that he lives alone. Bestowed a caretaker robot capable of offering engaging interaction and tending to basic household chores, Frank at first resents his android helper. But in time he lets his guard down and begins to actually enjoy the companionship of his new domestic partner. Later, when the future of the local library is threatened, Frank falls back into his old ways and discovers that his robot also doubles as a competent criminal sidekick. Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Great acting in a film that addresses the loneliness of old age and how one man deals with it. The story is fairly simple. An older man is starting to have memory problems so his adult son gives him a robot to tend to his needs. The older man, Frank, resents the robot and resists any attempts at help. Over time, he develops a kind of relationship with the robot. Frank Langella is outstanding as the older man.
