The Company You Keep | Ratings & Reviews

"Oscar-winner Robert Redford directs and stars in this politically-charged thriller as Jim Grant, a civil rights lawyer and single father forced to go on the run after a brash reporter (Shia LaBeouf) exposes his true identity - Grant is an ex-Weather Underground revolutionary wanted for murder. Sparking a nationwide manhunt, the fugitive sets off on a cross-country journey to clear his name. Co-stars Susan Sarandon, Stanley Tucci, Nick Nolte, Anna Kendrick and Terrence Howard."

Flicks, Aaron YapFlicks

"[An] unabashedly heartfelt but competent tribute to 1960s idealism."

VarietyVariety

"With a welcome mixture of juice and grit, the movie dramatizes the lingering conundrums of young people in the time of the Vietnam morass."

Time MagazineTime Magazine

"This earnest, well-intentioned movie elicits frustration that its story had to be packaged as a conventional, not very suspenseful fugitive thriller with a bogus Hollywood ending."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"Redford builds a riveting, resonant political thriller that values the complexity of its characters and the intelligence of its audience."

Rolling StoneRolling Stone

"A shrewder, more satisfying piece of filmmaking than we've seen from Redford in a while, though not quite in the league with his best behind-the-camera work."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"Redford does his most compelling work in some time as both actor and director... a tense yet admirably restrained thriller."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"Feels like cinematic health food: vaguely good for you but less than delicious."
