I can't put my finger on it but there's something about this film that is just brilliant. I keep coming back to it time and time again and it's always great. The technology and setting keeps getting older but this film never ages. Is it the dialogue? The brilliance of Redford's performance? One of the few good performances of Pitt's career? The low-tech, tense strategy of it all? No idea - it just is.

Must leave a review to counter all the haters. You know, the wanna be critics who do not know what a good movie is. This spy movie has it all. A story that takes you to several locations. Actors created for the role. If you have not seen it, then you have something good to look forward to. Enjoy!

STYLE, SUBSTANCE AND CLASS! Spy Game will blow right over the heads of most audiences and it obviously has. It's an underrated, taut masterpiece that gets everthing right -- the writing, directing, editing, acting is all Oscar caliber. Not to mention it's one hell of an ambitious production. Spy Game is what happens when professionals in the business come together to make an intelligent, masterfully crafted thinking man's actioner that as a viewer you can have complete confidence in while viewing -- that's a rare thing these days in Hollywood. It's a rare gem that reminded me of Clear and Present Danger. Let's hope we see a lot more of this, and a lot LESS of X-Men, Mission Impossible, Rush Hour, Pearl Harbor, Lord of the Rings and other utter boring trash passed off as action fare.
