We watched Spy Game off of cable. The movie stars Brad Pitt and Robert Redford, each a star of their generation known for their appeal to the ladies. Redford plays a CIA agent who is nearing retirement when he learns that Pitt’s character, who has worked for Redford many times in the past, is in trouble in China.
We learn the history of their relationship through a series of flashbacks that show how Pitt got into his predicament and what Redford is potentially sacrificing to help him. He of course has to do this while skirting the CIA rules as the CIA is more than willing to abandon Pitt for political reasons.
I found the movie interesting enough to enjoy seeing it once, but I wasn’t overwhelmed by it. I doubt I will see it again. On my scale of 1-100, I rate it a 77.
