Review of Spy Game (2001) by Nbfc — 09 Jan 2018
This underrated spy thriller by Tony Scott (Top Gun, Man on Fire) follows retiring CIA agent Nathan Muir (Robert Redford) as he recalls his training of Tom Bishop (Brad Pitt) while working against agency politics to release him from his Chinese captors.
Not high on action but never lacking in tension thanks to Scott’s ever-tight direction. This is a movie about mind-games and sharp dialogue with both Redford and Pitt delivering knockout performances.
Worth checking out if you are a fan of more realistic spy movies that dwell on the moral ambiguities involved with espionage.
