The Company You Keep Movie Review | |
Sarandon's showpiece sequence, in which Sharon, grilled by the reporter while in FBI custody, stands up for her actions, is easily the film's best. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor Drawing skillfully on a first-rate cast, Redford builds a riveting, resonant political thriller that values the complexity of its characters and the intelligence of its audience. Peter Travers-Rolling Stone Though it makes a few missteps, it's marked by top-notch performances by a terrific ensemble cast, headed by Redford. Claudia Puig-USA Today "The Company You Keep'' consistently stretches credulity way past the breaking point in its depiction of journalism, police procedure and political activism. Lou Lumenick-New York Post Full of issues, and "relevance," but not enough action, or drama. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger "The Company You Keep" is a shrewder, more satisfying piece of filmmaking than we've seen from Redford in a while, though not quite in the league with his best behind-the-camera work ... Betsy Sharkey-Los Angeles Times With this deep bench cast the film started out ahead of the game before the camera rolled. Jules Brenner-Cinema Signals Redford's justification for violent leftwing terrorists can be irritating, but this is still a well made, entertaining film, even if the point will rub many the wrong way. Tony Medley-Tolucan Times Director/star Robert Redford has gathered an enviable cast for a radical "Big Chill" which makes this middling, timeline-trouncing effort worthwhile. Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews Stellar cast is best thing about Redford's political drama. S. Jhoanna Robledo-Common Sense Media Outsider looking in fictional history perhaps exonerating Redford rather than those underground anti-imperialist fugitives distorted in his movie - not to mention a conveniently disappeared Cointelpro - for possibly his own lack of commitment back then. Prairie Miller-WBAI Radio Redford decided we needed a non-thrilling political thriller... where the worst of what '60s radicalism had to offer is given a platform to chirp, "Gee, we thought we were doing the right thing." Dave White-Movies.com It's a perfectly terrible movie, full of bad dialogue, with all the major characters -- and there are quite a few -- staggering around under crises of conscience. Craig Seligman-Bloomberg News The Company You Keep is Robert Redford's The Expendables. Fred Topel-CraveOnline It's a seeming impossibility: a middlebrow film about extremists. Chris Barsanti-Filmcritic.com An intelligent, slow-burn political thriller boasting stellar performances from its talented ensemble cast that compensate for the screenplay's minor shortcomings. Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru A thoroughly stodgy exploration of the ghosts of the past that has exceedingly little to say about the Vietnam era, the ethics of violent protest or the standards of what's left of the newspaper business.
