<p>In this episode of Spy Game:... Wait, I mean... In this movie, Robert Redford
|
||
|
|
plays a retiring spy that, in his last day in the office, finds out his
|
||
|
|
protégé, played by Brad Pitt was captured. While trying to save him, each
|
||
|
|
episode... I mean... </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Ok, fuck it, ok? The movie feels like someone wrote three-to-four episodes of a
|
||
|
|
TV series and, when he couldn't sell it, turned into a movie. This makes the
|
||
|
|
movie feel like a bunch of unconnected stories instead of one single story.
|
||
|
|
While trying to explain why Redford character would care about Pitt character,
|
||
|
|
they throw a bunch of stories about the way they met, how they worked together,
|
||
|
|
their quarrels, and so on.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Sure, you can explain the very last thing through a series of events, and some
|
||
|
|
movies did this pretty fine (including showing things out of order, like "Pulp
|
||
|
|
Fiction" and "Memento"), but here, again, it feels like someone wrote a series
|
||
|
|
about spies in the CIA, with a mentor and his replacement and tried to make a
|
||
|
|
movie out of.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>It even feels like Redford and Pitt tried their best to portrait a grizzly spy
|
||
|
|
veteran who-have-seen-it-all and new trained spy who-still-cares-about-people,
|
||
|
|
the stories doesn't help. And some stuff is just plain bad, like the uncanny
|
||
|
|
ability of Redford character to read titles of papers showing in window
|
||
|
|
reflections, to the surprise of everyone in the room.</p>
