The Company You Keep

Robert Redford, Julie Christie

Solid mainstream treatment of the capture/surrender of Weathermen radicals in the oughts.

Every aspect of this production was slick and shiny. The two leads are definitely showing their age but still have the presence that made them stars way back when. The real surprise to me was the major role played by Shia LaBeouf, an actor who has failed to impress me in the past. Here he convincingly does an obsessed young journalist who sees this story as career-making and runs with it.

Not as moving as Running on Empty but what is?
