Well, we just watched Sneakers last night (Gattaca tomorrow night) and I hadn't seen sneakers since I first saw it all those years ago. This is a pretty good movie. I never have been a fan of Dan Akroid, but I liked him here...This is probably my favorite Robert Redford character, and Sydney Portier is great too..in fact the entire cast is good, and the showdown between Redford and Kingsley is well built up...
River Phoenix really is a lost talent. I think that kid would have had a great career had he not been lost at such a young age.
If you haven't seen this movie (i won't spoil it for you) you should. Its a scifi movie, I guess, but its one of those that could happen tomorrow. Its about what lengths a man will go through to accumilate power, even if he thinks his reasons for doing so are for the better. And, today, in 2010? I would love someone to wipe my mortgage off the books with a simple button push...
I really liked the characters in this movie, they are well rounded, and seem like REAL people. Mary McDonnell (from nuBSG) is pretty witty in this movie. Has she been featured as the babe of the week yet in the GENRE babe of the week forum? I mean, really..Sneakers, nuBSG, ID4..that shoud qualify her for sure..
Sneakers...on my scale of 1-10, I give it an 8+. Any movie with Darth Vader is well worth admission!!!
