I enjoy Robert Redford's performances in two spy-cy little films made a decade apart. In the fun and fast-moving
SNEAKERS,
he’s the leader of a tight team of unorthodox security specialists
(Sidney Poitier, David Strathairn, Dan Aykroyd, River Phoenix) tricked
into finding a mysterious box that can break into any encrypted computer
system in the US. And in a more serious and even faster-moving
SPY GAME,
he’s a retiring CIA agent spending his last day recalling for superiors
his recruitment and training of a young spy (Brad Pitt), while secretly
working against them to free his protégé from Chinese captors. Both
movies feature good casts and dialogue.
