The first time I saw this one (must've been 2002) it was late at night, and if I remember correctly I had had a wine or two too many as well. The second time I saw it was with a winy friend who didn't feel like watching a movie. Sucker!
But even without those handicaps, 'Spy Game' is tough to figure out. It doesn't help that within the first scene we see Brad Pitt somewhere in some hospital, but why, when, how?
Over the course of the movie we find out the relationship between him and Robert Redford (who's in Langley (I think) the entire time), how they met in the far east and what happened next.
It's a classy thriller (leave that up to Scott), but unclear in it's meanings and not really satisfying in the end. On the whole: 6/10.
