★★☆☆☆ |

|
<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> |
