Review of Spy Game

Spy Game (2001)
Bottom line: VERY VERY BORING
11 May 2003
This film was boring. It played out well, but it was hardly a spy film. I was expecting it to be full of espionage and action, but it wasnt. Brad Pitt is a young CIA spy who is kidnapped at the beginning of the film during a spy mission in China, and his longtime "boss" Robert Redford has 24 hours to save him before he is executed in the Chinese prison. The whole film, Redford sits in an office and nearly every scene in the film is a flashback, detailing how Pitt and Redford met and some of the very dull missions that Pitt went on. There was no "spying" in the film, so I do not know why it was titled "Spy Game". Pitt is a spy, but he doesnt really act like one. There is not a single scene of action throughout the film, so if you want to see an action movie, rent something else. Feel free to email me with any questions or comments.
