Tony Scott's latest suspense film is a on and off crackerjack suspense thriller with covert ops, down to the clock thrills and other good things. Sometimes it's slow but it's never intolerable with Redford and Pitt delivering fine performances (I didn't know Redford could still act this good) as two spies, one retiring which is Redford, and the other (Pitt) is in a Chinese prison in detainment for espionage and while trying to save him in a 24 hour period Redford goes through their history together for a group of suspicious CIA types.
Some fine and definitely appropriate cinematography by Daniel Mindel and a good all around feel (the atmosphere is perfect as I mentioned earlier, as that the film creates situations and scenes where your eyes don't want to wander the screen for a second in fear of missing something that could be important) delivered by Scott and company; not anything that will win awards, but it is worthwhile for adults and other mature folks who might actualy go against the tide of Harry Potter and see this while the kids see that. B+
