Director and co-writer Phil Alden Robinson abandons the sentiment of Field of Dreams for a film that's just as manipulative, but a lot more fun -- good, commercial moviemaking.

Enduring past its tech's sell-by date, it's still "Mission: Quite Possible," with pragmatic paranoia, perfect pacing and thoughtful reflection on how tough it is to reconcile rage against the machine after the machine assimilates your method of rebellion.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Sep 26, 2022

Part of the pleasure afforded by such a sequence comes from the careful exposition of intricate teamwork, combined with an adroit attention to the personalities involved.

There's plenty to like about Sneakers. There's just a little less than you might expect.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 24, 2020

...persistently (and increasingly) engrossing...

| Original Score: 4/4 | Apr 3, 2020

This is basically dumb fun with a veneer of smart fun... Fast-paced, utterly enjoyable.

The movie would probably swing along fine as an out-and-out spoof or a serious thriller, but instead it lacks force in either direction.

Sneakers often feels like it was made by a computer, but with a cast this likable you can watch it without feeling programmed.

| Original Score: B- | Sep 7, 2011

A smart, smooth technological thriller.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 1, 2011

Geriatric hi-tech action-packed spoof caper film that starts out semi-believable and ends on an unbelievable low point.

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 3, 2009

It's all passably entertaining, but there's precious little that will stay with you...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 23, 2008

Makes up for its gaps in logic with its breezy tone and its technological razzledazzle.

Right up to an ending designed to crack the sternest critical poker face, this is gourmet popcorn of the highest order.
