The Company You Keep (2012)
Robert Redford has a secret: for the past thirty years, he’s been living a lie. He was once part of the Weather Underground, but he changed his identity and has lived a peaceful life after deciding to distance himself from the militant group. Now, his former friend has been arrested for a decades-old crime and he’s in danger of being arrested as an accomplice. So, he packs up his young daughter, the adorable Jackie Evancho, and flees!
Shia LaBeouf plays a young, upstart reporter who makes life difficult for Robert Redford, but as unlikable as Shia is, Bob is correspondingly likable. Bob is always trustworthy, and he and Jackie are very sweet together. Be on the lookout for dozens of familiar faces, who no doubt latched onto the casting notices for a chance to work with Redford, who also directed the film. Susan Sarandon, Julie Christie, Stanley Tucci, Nick Nolte, Chris Cooper, Richard Jenkins, Terrence Howard, Brendan Gleeson, and Sam Elliot make up the all-star cast.
If you liked Sneakers, but secretly hoped for a dramatic version, you’ll love The Company You Keep. This exciting flick is going to make you pay attention, and the many cameos, political message, thoughtful directing, and social commentary fit in with all the greatness you’d expect out of a Robert Redford movie.
