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.

It's a surprise to discover a cerebral, 25-year-old film following the blueprint for today's endless glut of superhero movies.

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-

Steve Warren

Southern Voice (Atlanta)

Director and co-writer Phil Alden Robinson abandons the sentiment of Field of Dreams for a film that's just as manipulative, but a lot more fun -- good, commercial moviemaking.

Nick Rogers

Midwest Film Journal

Enduring past its tech's sell-by date, it's still "Mission: Quite Possible," with pragmatic paranoia, perfect pacing and thoughtful reflection on how tough it is to reconcile rage against the machine after the machine assimilates your method of rebellion.

Rated: 4.5/5

There's plenty to like about Sneakers. There's just a little less than you might expect.

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 ).

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.
