5.0 out of 5 stars"Some Perfect Performances From All"
Reviewed in Canada on October 9, 2013
I just love [Robert Redford]movies,you will never see this guy doing
big shoot-em-up or huge car chases type movies,the guy is a thinking man
movie maker,this is what this one is,I can't give any Spoilers away here,
because at thirty minutes into the movie I figured out the plot,and as
it went on I sort of got the whole picture before the end?I think you will too,
I just wish there was a little more tension to build on it lacked a little of that,
but overall [the Company You Keep] is good reminder of,if you want to do
anything,[underhanded that is]do it yourself that way you have nobody to
blame but yourself,I think why the movie lack it's Tension they are fourteen
big name actors in this with a limited screen time,the two main characters
is Redford and Shia LaBeouf,so I don't think anything could be done to improve
that on less you make the movie four hours long..
Widescreen 2.40:1
Runtime 122 minutes.

1.0 out of 5 starsOh Robert...What Happened Here?
Reviewed in Canada on February 6, 2016
This movie was a huge disappointment. I expected a LOT better from Robert Redford but it fell well short of the mark, for so many reasons.

SPOILER:

So many things in this story didn't add up, just a couple of examples: The FBI is looking for this Nick for over 30 years and can't find him with all their resources, technology etc..but a young, brash reporter does a few clicks on Google and voila, all is revealed. Come on!!!

Having Robert Redford as the father of a very young girl made him look even older than usual. Could they not have made it just a bit believable by having his daughter at least in her teens. He looked like a grandpa or great grandpa in this one. SO sad.

He supposedly commits a murder, in the day time, at a bank but he's not even there. Again, come on!!! They did have video cameras in the 70s in places like banks at least, how could they screw this up so badly?

The lack of chemistry between Julie Christie (she is still so beautiful though) and Robert Redford was painful to watch. Two great actors but no sparks at all!

There were more faux pas, but that was enough to totally discredit this movie, IMO.

Robert Redford has made some wonderful movies, this isn't one of them. Maybe time to give directing and acting a miss. Leave a legacy of quality work instead of drivel like this one.

Reviewed in Canada on July 6, 2016

This was a good movie. It was an interesting story about some middle aged people who as teenagers were part of an activist group. As teenagers, they robbed a bank to raise money for their cause and during the robbery someone was killed. They spend several decades on the run living under other names. At a certain point in time, some of them get tired of running. The acting is very good and the story was well written. I really enjoyed this movie.

I enjoyed this movie. It reminded me of a much earlier one, Running on Empty. As a person who "clicked the Regime Change Button" nearly half a century ago, involving a lengthy period of precariousness, they both had a hold on me, bringing up many memories.
