Bill's Comments

This was another good movie about the world of spying in this world of terrorists and bad guys. It is played as flashbacks of a life of spying by Redford (the mentor) and Pitt (the new guy). In today's post 9/11 world, it all comes across as a little to real. We can no longer think of this stuff as only happening "over there". This makes it a little more difficult to call it "entertaining". The movie is well made and is indeed good. It's just that my perspective has changed and I'm not sure how many more of this type of film I want to see. Your choice may be different.
