Intriguing fast moving action
By a customer from Wales, UK , 03 Dec 2003[Highly rated reviewer]
This a film that needs to be viewed with a cinema surround sound system to get the full value of it, as this really makes the action shots so much better, especially with the helecopters flying over your head. Redwood at his usual laconic best.- Was this review helpful to you?

By PWM71 (37 reviews) from Birmingham , 11 Sep 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
If you enjoy espionage, action films with a little bit of intelligence then I would recommend this film.
True, you do find yourself one step ahead of the plot throughout, however the performances are great and the script does have some clever moments.- Was this review helpful to you?

Fascinating film
By a customer , 20 Jul 2011If you like spy films then you should enjoy this one. Robert Redford plays an excellent leading role as Nathan Muir who hired Tom Bishop (Brad Pitt) to work for him. When Bishop is put in prison by the Chinese Muir has to explain to the bosses all about their involvement together. It's all quite complicated and Robert Redford held my attention all the way through. Really enjoyed the film- Was this review helpful to you?

Spy Game
By dpc (11 reviews) from lon , 13 Jan 2011This is a terrific film. Great acting by Redford & a good show by Pitt.
The plot is just intricate enough & the commentary from Redford is superb. My only criticism is that I would love to have seen more focus on the tradecraft side of learning the game.
One you compare this with anything else around, outside of the BBC Le Carre adaptations, it really does stand alone.
Redford runs rings around the bosses!!- Was this review helpful to you?

Good but could do better
By sa7unter (4 reviews) from Bexleyheath , 16 Dec 2010Robert Redford's character, Nathan Muir is on his last day at the CIA before retirement. His protege the Boy Scout (Brad Pitt) is in China about to be executed within 24 hours for espionage. The timeframe itself is compelling and there is definitely moments where you begin to winder how many wives Muir had. The only part within the film that it falls down on is the reasoning Brad Pitt has gone into China. Its a little bit obvious for Hollywood and in many respects slightly far fetched. Its nice to see the guile of Redford against the whole of the CIA though a little far fetched, its nice to see that the old dogs can still beat the top dogs (none of whom are likeable, so your pretty pleased that he's spun them a yarn). Its a good film but it just falls short slightly with some of the writing.- Was this review helpful to you?
