| Spy Game Cast: Robert Redford .... Nathan D. Muir Brad Pitt .... Tom Bishop Catherine McCormack .... Elizabeth Hadley Stephen Dillane .... Charles Harker Larry Bryggman .... Troy Folger Marianne Jean-Baptiste .... Gladys Jennip "Spy Game" tells of a retiring CIA agent (Redford) at Langley who has 24 hours to try to save his novice (Pitt) from execution in a Chinese prison a half a world away. A fast moving drama which tells two parallel stories, the mentor/novice history (via flashback) and the present moment inside-the-agency "chess match", "Spy Game" gives a smart but Hollywood version of CIA operations and intrigues both inside the agency and in the field. A well crafted, heavily edited, entertaining film which keeps you thinking and guessing while delivering more dialogue than action, romance, sex/nudity, etc. A must see for spy flick junkies and an okay watch for others. |
