Spy Game Reviews

Enjoy it for what it is, a fleet, handsome fantasy of globe-hopping blond demigods.

| Mar 7, 2018

A smart thriller for grown-ups.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 28, 2010

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 30, 2006

The performances are the biggest asset.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 6, 2002

The kind of movie that represents an engaging evening’s diversion, but makes no impact and leaves no lasting impression.

| Original Score: B- | May 9, 2002

I'll admit the main story is implausible, but the flashbacks were spectacular, and the cast is really good here.

Full Review | Dec 3, 2001

It's clever and shows great control of craft, but it doesn't care, and so it's hard for us to care about.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 30, 2001

A yawn, and the two glamour boys (who, by the way, look awful) are both snoring.

| Nov 28, 2001

Happily, beneath the film's nostalgic veneer and tooth-rattling visual and aural effects lies a mature ambiguity that's unusual for a holiday blockbuster.

| Nov 27, 2001

Redford dazzles in his best role in decades.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 27, 2001

Wittily scripted and wonderfully played by the veteran blond bombshell, Redford's HQ scenes sparkle.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 26, 2001

Ponderous and bulky, swaddled in an aura of flimsy import.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Nov 25, 2001

It trades in the kinds of shadings and moral quandaries that have been meat and drink to Le Carre.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 25, 2001

Scott films every scene, no matter how routine, as if he's covering the launch of a nuclear missile.

| Nov 21, 2001

Spy Game is never boring and rarely predictable except in its broad, overall us-versus-them outline.

Full Review | Nov 21, 2001

With its cast of back-stabbing functionaries and desk jockeys, Spy Game makes the sport and hard work of espionage seem chillingly real.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 21, 2001

A taut, timely and intelligent thriller with cloak-and-swaggering performances from Robert Redford and Brad Pitt.

Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5 | Nov 21, 2001

If you can't find a copy of Condor, you can learn everything you probably need to know about espionage by pairing Spy Game with Spy Kids.

| Nov 21, 2001

Scott, who's made numerous big-star action movies, brings some unexpected humor and elegance to this otherwise predictable film.

Full Review | Nov 21, 2001

A glossy, suffocatingly predictable star vehicle for Robert Redford and Brad Pitt.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 21, 2001
