Spy Game

As many are aware I've managed to fall behind in my updates here in blog-world. SPY GAME, which looks like me to just be an excuse to have Brad Pitt and Robert Redford work together, is not nearly as bad as some would have you think. Yes, it can be slow but to me this gives it the feel of those classic espionage films of the early Seventies. Tony Scott can always be counted on for a good thriller and there is a bit of fine action to be seen here but SPY GAME remains a character driven piece of work and Redford and Pitt manage to pull this off in a fashion which may leave some thinking they could have done this one in their collective sleep. Catherine McCormack fills in nicely as both the eye candy and a pivotal plot device making this one for early morning or evening but certainly not for late night as it could very well nudge you off into La-La Land.
