This one was a big surprise for me. Im usually not a fan of espionage films, nor am I usually a fan of Brad Pitt. This movie was a pleasant surprise on both counts, and I really enjoyed it. The plot is very good for a big-budget Hollywood movie, I was interested from beginning to end. All the performances are great, and every character is unique. You almost feel sorry for some characters, while others are there simply for comic relief. No matter which they may be, everyone involved succeeds at their purpose. I really like Redford's character...it wasnt really anything new for him, but he was still funny and just plain cool. The director handled the plot very well; it's not very hard to figure out, but he still finds ways to keep you interested and wondering if your assumptions are correct. I definatly recomend this one.

8/10
How can you hate on Brad Pitt? Sure, he's got the pretty boy image going, but look at all of the cool ass movies he's been in...

Thelma & Louise
Cool World
Kalifornia
True Romance
Interview with the Vampire
Legends of the Fall
Se7en
12 Monkeys
Sleepers
Fight Club
Snatch
The Mexican
Spy Game
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind
Troy
Oceans 11
Oceans 12
Mr & Mrs. Smith

He's also made tv appearances on 'Freddy's Nightmares', Takes from the Crypt, Growing Pains & King of the Hill.

Plus, he's got all these movies coming out in the next couple years that sound cool too.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Oceans 13
Dallas Buyers Club
Chad Schmidt



That's a pretty impressive resume. How can you not typically like him? I think he generally picks awesome movies.
