Spy Game

Year: 2001

Why'd I Watch It?: My mom likes Redford.

What's It About?: Retiring agent working to free his protege from China amidst a series of flashbacks.

What'd I Think?: Problem #1: the date is 1991, so there's a flashback to the Vietnam war and Robert Redford looks a little younger, but Brad Pitt looks exactly the same. He's immortal. Anyway, violent enough. Fairly good character development, but once again the CIA looks like a bunch of stupid, arrogant pricks. As if being beat up by some guy who can't remember anything isn't bad enough. Best part is when Pitt and Redford go out for Mexican food in Beirut.

Rating: 3 waffles
