Review of The Company You Keep (2012) by Foxgrove — 09 Jan 2014

A star studded cast go through the motions in this un-involving drama in which both situations and dialogue come off as phony. Of the performances Shia Lebouf comes off best as a young reporter who unmasks the identity of a suspected killer involved in a politically motivated incident that took place some 30 years before.

Story wise the film reminds one of Sidney Lumet's 1988 film 'Running on Empty', but it in no way emulates that film's quality. Both Redford ann Julie Christie have been seen to better advantage.
