The Company You Keep (2012)
Redford did a success again - with only one error.
In his long row of successes like Brubaker, Sneakers, The Last Castle, Spy Game and many more, Robert Redford both produces, directs and stars a rousing movie with the exact right combination of action and quiet scenes, giving the watcher a steady feeling of not wanting to miss a single moment. Another point is the successful use of old and very old great actors up to the age of 76. Bravo! The only error that keep the movie from getting 10 stars is the cast of Shia LaBeouf as digging journalist with absolutely no mimic: Looking like a 14-year old student he seems like trying to act like Dustin Hoffmann in The Graduate or All the President's Men, but continuously he reveals the mismatch between the figure and the actor. There is a growing suspicion that he was casted because of his ethnicity.
