      Critics Consensus

      The outcome of the kinetic Spy Game is never in doubt, but it is fun watching Robert Redford and Brad Pitt work.

      Ted W One of my favorite movies. It is complicated, but if you love spy thrillers you will enjoy. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/13/24 Full Review Paul D Classy movie, great story and a happy spy ending. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/29/24 Full Review Timothy D Spy Game is well constructed, but that is not enough to overcome its blandly safe approach. The film's pacing is vigorous but too calculated to be effective, and the soundtrack can be overbearing. Redford is magnetic as ever, but he doesn't overcome the okayness of the film. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Brian K Nonsensical movie, with some decent action scenes and good acting by Pitt and the supporting actors (in the CIA) - Redford is just his usual self; a marginal actor getting by on his reputation. What a waste of talent. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/17/23 Full Review Alec B It's a weird mishmash of cynicism and sentimentality . . . If the narrative stuck with it's original bleak structure instead of turning into a love story with a happy ending I might have liked this more. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/14/23 Full Review Jeffrey B Typical bring a couple stars no plot action adventure unreal scenes movie give me two hours back please Hollywood Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      David Ansen Newsweek Enjoy it for what it is, a fleet, handsome fantasy of globe-hopping blond demigods. Mar 7, 2018 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media A smart thriller for grown-ups. Rated: 4/5 Dec 28, 2010 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 3/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Yasser Medina Cinefilia It has a few moments of intrigue with the presence of Robert Redford and Brad Pitt, but many times I am assailed by the feeling that their espionage game never escapes the designated routines and predictable acts of action. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 Jun 25, 2023 Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault The movie is essentially a long meeting, allowing Redford to hold forth, grin cynically at what’s become of his agency, and coast on his matinee-idol charisma. Rated: D Sep 17, 2022 Full Review Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal Generally running on classic rock and smoke, it's all craft and no conviction, all costume and no design. Its anonymized approach has left it appropriately unremembered - a vague whisper on the lips of someone digging through a DVD clearance bin. Rated: 2/5 Dec 8, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
