nick s The storyline seemed a bit unlikely, with the protagonist having about as much going his way as Kevin from Home Alone. But Matthau and Co played their roles well and elevated this to a pretty watchable popcorn flick. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review steve m A thinking man's spy movie, not a physical fighting spy movie. People who have never worked for the Federal government will not believe the upper management character, but it's pretty accurate IMO. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The sum of implausible scenarios and humor that sometimes misfires makes this a disappointing viewing. Matthau and Jackson, though, are, as always, fun to watch. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member One of those films that may not be as good as you remembered it, Hopscotch finds Walter Matthau covering a lot of the same ground he did in Charley Varrick, but without the violence or thrills. While his character also spends most of this film outsmarting pursuers and ultimately faking his own death, the grittiness with which Don Siegel infused Varrick has been traded for light comedy and bloodless intrigue by veteran director Ronald Neame. Perhaps too well mannered for its own good, Hopscotch imagines a world populated by gentle, cultured, middle-aged spies that prefer Mozart to gunplay, where CIA agents are stymied by growling dogs, and the KGB willingly hands over sensitive information in the name of good sportsmanship. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review steve d Matthau is good but the script doesn't help him out. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Frances H This flick is worth watching just to hear Matthau singing the opera aria alone, but it is even better than that--the nifty plot and the repartee with Jackson, who starred with in House Calls as well, made this film so much fun to watch!
