Spy Game

Recommended Posts

Spy game was a great movie. It started Robert Redford and Brad Pitt and pretty much nobody else. It was incredibly well done. Incredibly smart and probably far more realistic then most of the so-called spy flicks out there. Not a lot of Jason Bourne jumping through Windows crap if you know what I mean.

 

For me, it's one of those movies in the pantheon of I don't care what time it is or what I'm doing the next day, I got to stop and watch the movie.

 

While Brad Pitt was in it, and certainly serve the role. This really was a master class taught entirely by Robert Redford.

 

But again, he was assisted by taut storytelling and great written dialogue.

 

If you ever get a chance and get sick of green screens and Thor and Loki and God knows what the fuc else, if you ever want to grow up and watch a real movie? Highly recommend this one.

Great movie. I saw it in the theater when it first came out and a couple of times since then.

 

James Bond movies should aspire to be this good.

Yup, simply a well done movie. If I'm looking for something to watch and that is on, I'm good for a few hours.

 

Man on Fire is another one like that for me, not as realistic obviously but, just so well done.

I bailed on tinker tailor soldier spy... Seemed awfully slow but maybe I should give it another shot.

Horrible movie, don't give it another chance to steal time you'll never get back

Haven't seen this yet, but one of my favorites is "No Way Out". Hackman and Costner were pretty good in this film.

Spy Game is great. It sucks me in every time. Probably one of the more realistic ones out there.

If we knew what real spies were like, they wouldn't be very good spies. :dunno:

Really, the only two real spies we know are Julia Child and Chuck Barris.

 

you think they'd stand out more.

The unknown comic was the planted distraction for Barris.

Solid point. I doubt many are as hot as Brad Pitt.
