It’s
the last day on the job for CIA operative Nathan Muir. He learns his specially trained protégé
Tom Bishop has been arrested in Beijing China for spying. Muir knows he will have to use all the
skills he’s honed at the CIA to get Tom out of this mess. Muir is called into a meeting that is
being recorded and filmed about the Tom Bishop problem. They don’t seem to mind that Tom could be killed in China by
8AM in the morning.
I
thought this was good and interesting plus it doesn’t seem to have aged. Redford’s character warns Pitt to put
money aside and never touch it for any reason. Luckily Redford doesn’t follow his own advice. 3 ½* (I liked this movie)
126

Special
Note: I’m not sure if it’s
improved technology in televisions or the filming of the movie? In the beginning scenes, I could really
see the facial completions of Redford and Pitt. These scenes did not do them any favors and I wondered why
they look so beat up with rough looking skin?
