A senior citizen gets scammed and goes to catch the scammers. It’s charming, a parody of the impossible missions genre with the soundtrack.

Round tree was almost unrecognizable and delivers a heartfelt performance. Malcolm McDowell plays a villainous grump.
Not particularly D00M recommended. Seen on Hulu.
