Redford on the run
4 September 2013
A film about radicalism, regret and redemption. Robert Redford has managed to attract an all star cast ranging from the up and coming, stars of yesteryear and some solid character actors.

It's not a high octane thriller but it moves at a good space and there are some smart moves.

As a director, Redford is solid, getting good performances from his actors and getting the younger ones to raise their game and they have to as there are several Oscar winners and nominees in the cast.

Visually Redford has never been the one to try new tricks although his past films have had great cinematography such as 'A River Runs Through It.'

What we have here is Redford on the run, trying to clear his name and meet up with old radicals who might aid him in his endeavour. Some have regrets, others do not.

This film was never likely to be a blockbuster but is a good, well made film. If you like the stars here, you will like this.
