The company you keep (2012)

Also Known As: Die Akte Grant
Year of first release: 2012
Director: Robert Redford
Actors: Robert Redford, Shia LaBeouf
Country: USA
Genre: Thriller
Conditions of visioning: 28.07.2013, Schauburg
Synopsis: A former Weather Underground activist goes on the run from a journalist who has discovered his identity.
Review: The movie builds an atmosphere like the movies from the 70s where Robert Redford played (Three days of the Condor, Brubaker) and like the movies of Costa Gavras of the same time (État de siège). The actors are good, in particular the oldies, but the suspense is not so tense. There are not enough twists nor surprises. The stories about rebels and terrorists coming from the USA is quite interesting as well. This message is good to have, to remind Oklahoma bombing and Waco story.
Rating: 5 /10
