The killers are now free, have been given good jobs, and live a peaceful and comfortable lifestyle profiting from the capitalistic lifestyle they so eagerly sought to tear down. Not only are the killers living the good life but they areThe killers are now free, have been given good jobs, and live a peaceful and comfortable lifestyle profiting from the capitalistic lifestyle they so eagerly sought to tear down. Not only are the killers living the good life but they are portrayed as heroes... while their victims remain dead and their families go on with life without their loved ones. A sickening display of injustice and unfortunately "the norm" in America now.… Expand

Robert Redford is miscast as a father of a 12 year-old daughter. Just not believable. Story is weak and doesn't search the real moral questions of the Vietnam era. Best advice, just skip "The Company You Keep."

A star studded cast go through the motions in this un-involving drama in which both situations and dialogue come off as phony. Of the performances Shia Lebouf comes off best as a young reporter who unmasks the identity of a suspected killerA star studded cast go through the motions in this un-involving drama in which both situations and dialogue come off as phony. Of the performances Shia Lebouf comes off best as a young reporter who unmasks the identity of a suspected killer involved in a politically motivated incident that took place some 30 years before. Story wise the film reminds one of Sidney Lumet's 1988 film 'Running on Empty', but it in no way emulates that film's quality. Both Redford ann Julie Christie have been seen to better advantage.… Expand

On dirait un film d'un Sidney (ou d'un Sydney) tellement c'est chiant... mais Papy Redford y rajoute son agenda à la fois réactionnaire et gauchisant à tendance angéliste, à savoir que les auteurs d'attentats à la bombe et d'attaque à mainOn dirait un film d'un Sidney (ou d'un Sydney) tellement c'est chiant... mais Papy Redford y rajoute son agenda à la fois réactionnaire et gauchisant à tendance angéliste, à savoir que les auteurs d'attentats à la bombe et d'attaque à main armée (en l'occurrence un braquage) ne sont pas bien méchants puisqu'ils défendaient une "cause", celle du "pacifisme"...

Un drôle de pacifisme soit dit en passant... puisqu'ils étaient contre la guerre du Vietnam et qu'une fois "radicalisés", ils sont passés des manifs à la violence pure et dure afin de porter la "guerre" sur le sol américain en quelque sorte.

Et voilà que Papy s'insurge pendant tout le film : vous rendez-vous compte, le FBI arrête les responsables d'attentats 30 ans après grâce à la surveillance ! mais c'est horrible, quels salauds ces fachos, vous n'avez pas le droit, c'est trop injuste... Et Caliméro nous joue son numéro et nous casse les couilles pendant tout le putain de film ou du moins pendant grosso merdo les deux tiers parce qu'après j'ai pas tenu.

C'est vraiment puant comme raisonnement et totalement indéfendable. C'est même carrément indécent. Papy Redford nous dit donc que c'est un complot et puis de toute façon, l'une des leurs allait se rendre... Enfin, bref c'est n'importe quoi de A à Z : putain Papy faut vraiment que t'arrêtes parce que tu nous soûles trop avec tes conneries.… Expand

A super-average, run-of-the-mill culprit chase/crime drama film that is so mediocre that me and a family member, who were watching this film together, had a far better time exchanging stories the actors were involved in during their pastA super-average, run-of-the-mill culprit chase/crime drama film that is so mediocre that me and a family member, who were watching this film together, had a far better time exchanging stories the actors were involved in during their past films instead of giving this film much attention. The A-list cast of stars do absolutely nothing to give life to these boring, uninteresting as hell characters. Less reputable/noteworthy actors could have performed this film just fine. The fact that none of these characters are worthwhile to invest time into, only further emphasizes how shallow this film really is. This was an overall waste of my two hours and Robert Redford should just throw in the towel by this point. His days of directing/acting are over after what I had just witnessed.… Expand
