But Scott stays right on target, keeping us interested, developing the characters, and keeping the pacing nearly perfect. In the hands of a lesser director this could have been something more like Mission Impossible. Although Pitt is really good and Redford plays himself as well as he has in years, I think the most credit should go to Tony Scott.
But that's just what it is and more, this is definitely the best thing I've seen since Memento.
Spy Game is everything we're not supposed to expect from a major Hollywood movie: engrossing, intelligent, well written, acted and directed.
