Critics Consensus

There isn't much to Sneakers' plot -- and that's more than made up for with the film's breezy panache and hi-tech lingo.

Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader Part of the pleasure afforded by such a sequence comes from the careful exposition of intricate teamwork, combined with an adroit attention to the personalities involved. Rated: 3/4 Jun 2, 2022 Full Review Odie Henderson Slant Magazine It's a surprise to discover a cerebral, 25-year-old film following the blueprint for today's endless glut of superhero movies. Aug 31, 2017 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Sneakers often feels like it was made by a computer, but with a cast this likable you can watch it without feeling programmed. Rated: B- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid Goes down easy and leaves you feeling satisfied. Rated: 3/4 May 23, 2025 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Sneakers often plays like a kiddie version of Redford’s ‘70s gem Three Days of the Condor, with the paranoia replaced by pranks. Still, there are worse ways to spend 126 minutes. Rated: 2.5/4 May 6, 2025 Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending This cast has chem and charisma to boot. Redford rocks his part with the charm we’ve come to expect from the legend. Phoenix is exceptional in one of his final screen roles before his untimely death...

Albert K GET IN TOUCH WITH A PROFESSIONAL CRYPTO ASSET RECOVERY SPECIALIST NEAR YOU.My encounter with DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT proved to be fortuitous. Just recent, I was encumbered by a challenging situation and financial challenges stemming from an unsuccessful cryptocurrency venture. The preceding months had been exceptionally difficult. I encountered an incident that nearly destroyed my business and eroded the confidence I had built with my business associates over a long while. I was a victim of cryptocurrency-related fraud. I not only lost my capital but also incurred substantial debt from my associates over several months, in an effort to ensure the success of this cryptocurrency investment; however, I was instead overwhelmed by debt. I was denied the opportunity to withdraw my funds or to terminate my involvement with this investment platform. I subsequently discovered DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT, a private investigative and cryptocurrency asset recovery specialist. I learned of their assistance to numerous victims of online fraudulent schemes and how they managed to recover their lost funds. I am profoundly grateful to DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT for their honesty and compassion throughout the process of assisting me in the successful recovery of my crypto and the profit I believed to have lost on this platform. I intend to publicly acknowledge the exceptional professionalism and organizational capabilities of DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT, a private investigative and cryptocurrency asset recovery specialist. The loss of millions of dollars in cryptocurrency would have significantly destabilized my life, but due to the intervention of the DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT team, who facilitated the recovery of my lost and compromised cryptocurrency, this was averted. I offer a prayer for the continued blessings upon the DUNE NECTAR team.Support (@) Dunenectarwebexpert (.)

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/23/25 Full Review Mario M No real story, Boring, would NOT recommend movie. Depressing to say the least. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review Serinda S I am Serinda, a resident of West Virginia, and I am sharing my experience of being defrauded by a cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme. A few months ago, I encountered a crypto exchange website that deceptively mimicked a legitimate crypto exchange, and their support team proved exceptionally unhelpful. Unbeknownst to me, I was ensnared in a cycle of incessant fee demands, purportedly required to access the funds they instructed me to deposit. They had fabricated a fraudulent exchange platform designed to lure individuals into depositing their crypto tokens with the promise of significant returns. Regrettably, I was oblivious to the deception. My realization dawned when the exchange website rejected my withdrawal requests. In desperation, I contacted DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT. They not only facilitated the recovery of my crypto funds but also educated me about the mechanics of the scam. While the experience was devastating, I am grateful for their assistance in retrieving my crypto tokens from that fraudulent exchange website and its team. I strongly urge everyone to exercise extreme caution and conduct comprehensive due diligence before investing or transferring cryptocurrencies to any website or team. DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT can be contacted via: - Email ( Support @Dunenectarwebexpert . Com ), Telegram ( Dunenectarwebexpert ), Mobile Number ( +1- 617-283-4687 ). Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/06/25 Full Review Audience Member Really enjoyed it. A relaxing watch with some up tempo moments. The end is particularly fun. Enjoyed it. Redford doesn't seem to miss, one of the best to ever do it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/25 Full Review Nigel S A timeless family heist movie with an amazing cast and lots of humour.
