Review of The Company You Keep (2012) by Thomas R — 25 Jul 2014

The Company You Keep is a movie about a group of friends that were protestors when they were younger and 30 years have past and most of them have gone into hiding after a certain protest went horribly wrong and cost someone their life.

Robert Redford's character gets framed and blamed for the murder and he goes into hiding under a new name and becomes a lawyer.

Shia LaBeouf plays a reporter looking for a news story.

He does not drop the story till he gets to the bottom of the story and unveils the truth.

For me the story was dry and too long and boring.

It was a no action thriller that read like a thriller novel. If this was originally a book this should have stayed a book. Not all books should become movies.

Robert Redford was the director and do not get me wrong he has acted and made some great films unfortunately this was not one of them.

Not suitable for the kiddies and not recommended.

The only thing I liked was one scene he had some great rainforest and lake scenes beautifully shot. One star for that only.
