Day 361 - The Company You Keep (American)

The Company You Keep poster.jpg
 
"The story centers on recent widower and single father, Jim Grant, a former Weather Underground anti-Vietnam War militant wanted for a bank robbery and murder. Grant has hidden from the FBI for over 30 years, as an attorney in Albany, New York. He becomes a fugitive when his true identity is exposed by Ben Shepard, an aggressive young reporter. Grant must find his ex-lover, Mimi, the one person who can clear his name, before the FBI catches him. Otherwise, he will lose everything, including his 11-year-old daughter Isabel. While Ben struggles with ethical issues as a journalist, Jim and his old friends from the Weather Underground must live with the consequences of their radical past."
 
Wasn't the worst thriller but surely not one of the best. I think Robert Redford did an okay job with acting and a decent job with directing. I felt like the supporting cast could not keep up with him and thus the film suffered. The script was alright nothing too new about it and lacked depth sometimes. I suggest you skip this thriller.
 
1/5
