Spygames
Gail | Sunday, November 25, 2001 - 02:05 pm     I saw Spygames today with my brother. I really enjoyed this movie. It stars Robert Redford and Brad Pitt. At the beginning, Brad Pitt's character is a CIA operative in China trying to help someone escape from a Chinese prison and then he, himself is taken prisoner. When the CIA gets word of it, there is only 24 hours left til he is to be executed. This is kind of an action movie but not the kind where you have a lot of shoot 'em stuff. It is more the way that Robert Redford's character is trying to find a way from across the continents to make things happen to save this guy (the agency is planning to let him be executed). It is his last day of work before he retires. Anyways, it is a long movie - 2 hours + a few minutes but both of us enjoyed it. I noticed that the previews of coming attractions seem to have a lot more military movies, spy movies, etc. Has anyone else noticed that lately? |
Kitt | Saturday, December 01, 2001 - 10:45 pm     I saw it last weekend, and it was the first movie I've ever been to where the audience clapped at the end! I thought it was good but a bit unbelievable at the end. There was something on Extra! last night about upcoming movies, lots of war films have been brought forward to capitalise on the patriotism about. I'm not keen on war movies of any description so I hope they're still planning some lighter stuff too. |
Knightpatti | Sunday, January 27, 2002 - 05:50 pm     Just saw this movie last night at the reduced cinemas. My husband and I both loved it. I know if I was watching it at home though I would have gone to sleep in parts of it. It was very interesting. |

Webkitty | Saturday, May 25, 2002 - 02:08 pm     Just saw this. I thought it was somewhat confusing but liked it anyway. It was suspensful, and well acted all around. Its the type of movie you have to pay close attention to right from the very beginning or you will miss crucial dialogue and nuances. Its definitely not an "action" movie. The cat and mouse game Robert Redford's character played with the CIA "suits" was interesting to watch unfold. |
