Just Getting Started 2017

     Duke is an ex-mob attorney in the Witness Protection Program.  He is now running a retirement community and he is the ‘top dog’ in every sense of the word!!  He is about to have a big surprise come into his life!!  Leo is an ex-FBI Agent and he wants to become a member of the community.  Duke and Leo become rivals in everything!!  Golf game finesse, expertise with the widows and who will be the ‘top dog!!’  Susan is paying a visit to the community to check out the books for Corporate.  She’s finding irregularities in the bookkeeping??  Suddenly, Duke and Leo find common ground.  Duke is about to be taken out in a mob hit!!  Leo can’t let this happen on his watch!!  Who will he spar with if Duke is out of the game?? 

     Romeo is Susan’s precious little dog.  He is very tiny but he gets into a LOT of trouble and causes a LOT of trouble.   Sometimes these films with an older cast are terrible but this one is actually OK!!   Tommy Lee Jones has a red F-150 Ford truck that is almost a character in this film!!  To Tommy, the truck is a family member!!   I thought there were some laughs here!!  3* (This movie is OK)
