Spy Game (Full Screen Edition) Reviews
Da Narrows Out Diggin Archaology is Op Dinner out really
Spy Game directed by Tony Scott the brother of Director Ridley Scott takes an ambitious screenplay and makes it work. The movie traces the friendship between Pitts Tom Bishop and his mentor Redfords Nathan Muir through trials in Vietnam Berlin Beirut and finally China. The CIA is shown as being ruthless. After the Church commision criticized the CIA a lot of the covert stuff was shifted to military types like Coronel Oliver North now a politician and successful author. To compare Spy Game to real Ops According to spook David Shayler MI6/SIS was one vehicle away from getting terrorist supporter Khadafi in the 1990s. If QE2 thought that was a good raid to make the sin be upon my head. Sorry I was referring to the wrong Bishop/clergyperson. I thought the CIA leadership characters in the movie acted honourably trying to maintain Detente with the Chinese. I still want the BRICS alliance plainclothes troops out of Canada and I can neither confirm or deny that this is QE2s view. If I am QE2s full Nephew the gift of a laptop computer when I said that I wanted nothing might have proved that I am one of her five were bodyguards (Sir Five Were, 66 Alpha division of SIS.) How can you be called disloyal to Canada by Canadians when you serve the Person on the Canadian coins and bills?
I really like Robert Redford movies.
A CLASSY, ENTERTAINING SPY FLICK
Director Tony Scott should take the main bow for SPY GAME, an intellectual spy flick and primarily a director's film. With locations shot in Beirut, Lebanon, Berlin, Budapest, Casablanca, England, Haifa, Hong Kong, and Prague, a certain color and realism is guaranteed. And, sure enough, the photography and direction are in capable hands as is the script, which seems flawless. You gals out there might note that BOTH Robert Redford and Brad Pitt star in this slick tale of the CIA spy game. (Yummy!) Some reviewers seem concerned about an emotional flatness between Pitt and Redford but, hey, these guys are trained killers or at least serious craftsmen in the field. You feel too much as a CIA agent, you forfeit your life, my friend. So let's get real, okay? And very real is SPY GAME. The plot is intricate and layered as a wedding cake. CIA veteran Nathan Muir (Redford) is retiring and on his last day at his CIA job (what a waste of talent!) and his impulsive younger protege Tom Bishop (Pitt) is being held in a Chinese prison about to be executed for a botched rogue operation. How Muir saves the day for Bishop from long distance, being watched and questioned by his superiors in Washington who would rather see Bishop be executed by the Chicoms, is the crux of the story. It is a kind of mind over matter thing, the cleverness of Muir's efforts in contrast with the physicality of Bisphop's failed operation. Scenes of Bierut street fighting, flashbacks to Vietnam, takes inside CIA offices, all are very well done. SPY GAME is a classy, entertaining spy flick with good production values. Again, hats off to the director.
