Poster for The Company You Keep

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. More

Based on the novel by Neil Gordon, the story is loosely inspired by the 1981 Brink's robbery, a $US1.6 million armoured car heist carried out by members of the Weather Underground and the Black Liberation Army.

Variety

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

Time Magazine

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

The New York Times

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.

Rolling Stone

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

Los Angeles Times

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.

Hollywood Reporter

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

A.V. Club

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