Spy Game

Great spy thriller that builds a good story and does not only lean onto an action element.

It was a decent one and I enjoyed It.

From director Tony Scott comes the exciting and intense thriller Spy Game. When CIA operative Tom Bishop is captured by the Chinese and left for dead his former handler attempts to rescue him. Robert Redford and Brad Pitt lead the cast and give excellent performances. And the script is especially well-written, particularly the dialog, and does a great job at developing the characters. Also, Scott’s directing brings a lot of tension and suspense to the scenes. Smart and provocative, Spy Game is an incredibly engaging film.

The movie delivers on suspense and action, making for an exciting watch. Redford and Pitt's performances are undoubtedly the highlights of the film, and their on-screen chemistry is impressive. The direction and editing are also well-done, adding to the movie's overall quality. If you're a fan of spy thrillers, _Spy Game_ is a movie you shouldn't miss.

Spying on the world in this film.

Tries too hard to be complex and just ends up boring. It's not exactly a snoozefest it just wasn't intriguing and I couldn't've cared less about the characters

>"Troy, do you remember when we could tell the good guys from the bad guys?"

I really liked the behind the scenes of what CIA does when one of their own gets caught. Not sure I liked the style of storytelling with jumping back and forth in time though.

Most spies movies are action-focused but this story is told mostly through flashbacks. It's an odd structure.
And the final rescue mission is achieved by bribing people?

If it weren't for the actors and the late great Tony Scott, I think this movie would have been forgotten.

Spy Game was decent. It had some stylish editing which I wasn't always a fan of, such as it being too obvious with the handling of time and the constant sweeping camera movements in certain scenes. There was some terribly blatant product placement with the buildings too. Robert Redford was really good in it. I sort of lost track of what was happening near the end and thought I'd missed some really obvious things, but apparently you're meant to be in the dark for about fifteen minutes as it gets explained later on. Having said that, it probably would have helped if I'd watched it in one sitting as I probably did forget some things by the time I finished it.
