Review of Sneakers (1992) by Martin B — 22 Jun 2008
Back in 1992, I think I saw this movie because of River Phoenix. But while he was great in it, I was surprised to find I loved the entire cast. Redford? Poitier? Kingsley? McDonnell? Talented actors, no doubt, but not exactly my A-list, right? But this cast is perfect, especially David Strathairn, who manages to stand out in already amazing cast - no small feat.
The success of the film, though, is largely due to the writing, which is fun, exciting, and best of all, smart. Intelligent comedies don't come along too often, so it's disappointing that this one is so overlooked. Personally, I would have nominated it for all kinds of Oscars. It ranks right up there as the #1 or #2 film of 1992 for me.
