My notes

A stacked cast puts in solid performances in a film I was worried wouldn't hold up having only seen it on VHS. This fits right into the middle of my mental spy trilogy of The Conversation, Sneakers, and Enemy of the State.

Still, with Robert Redford, Dan Akroyd, Sidney Poitier, David Strathairn (in what might be favorite of his roles), Mary McDonnell, and (in one his final performances) River Phoenix, it's hard to not watch.

All while staying family friendly.
