1991-et írunk, és Nathan Muir veterán CIA tisztnek már csak egy napja van hátra a nyugdíjig, amikor is megtudja, hogy egykori védence és tanítványa, Tom Bishop, a "Cserkész" komoly bajba került. Egy balul sikerült akció során foglyul esett egy kínai börtönben, és 24 óra múlva kivégzik kémkedés vádjával. A CIA pedig nemzetközi konfliktustól tartva úgy dönt, hogy nem vállalja a kockázatot, és nem avatkozik közbe. Így tehát Muir-on a sor. Az ügynökséget azonban egy új generáció irányítja, s a régimódi Muir már nem beavatott, ezért magának kell kifundálnia, hogy hogyan tud túljárni a szervezet eszén, amelyet oly sok éven át szolgált. Az idővel versenyt futva úgy kell információkat szereznie egykori védence kétségbeejtő helyzetéről, hogy közben elaltatja felettesei éberségét a visszaemlékezéseivel, amelyekben fény derül az újonc Bishop kiképzésének titkaira, és felbukkan az a nő, aki veszélybe sodorta az akciójukat, és a barátságukat is...

Robert Redford az elején leül az irodájában, és felidézi a társával, Brad Pitt-tel átélt kémkalandokat, és a film hátralévő részében nem mozdul onnan. Kémkedős flashback mozaik, amely azt hiszi, hogy ahhoz, hogy felkeltse az érdeklődést elég egy intelligensen megírt forgatókönyv rendes adagnyi akció és kidolgozott főszereplők nélkül. Tévedés. Ennyi nézői figyelmet szentelni egy 130 perces, túlkombinált forgatókönyvnek, ami semmi csodással nem jutalmaz... én nem játszom ezt.

I can have all the reservations I want about the script, but the fact is that Scott is an excellent craftsman, his direction is dynamic, and the plot moves forward quickly. That's why the two hours went by like water and I didn't have the feeling of plot fragmentation thanks to the frequent flashbacks. I must also praise the production design, the realities of Beirut with streets full of chaos looked really convincing. And the actors? Redford is still awesome and a great actor, even at his age, and Pitt is just Pitt. Again, he didn't forgo his typical acting mannerisms in places, but he won't change. All in all, an above average thriller, but only for one viewing. Three and a half stars.

It’s been a long time since I saw Spy Game for the first time. It was at a time when I was terribly biased against Tony Scott. I was bothered by the way he told his stories, where if you miss a second, you immediately get lost in the plot. Or at least I have always felt like that. I actually felt the same way about Spy Game. But I decided to try my best with this movie and I must say that it made me happy in all respects. The story is realistic; it reminds me a bit of French films from the seventies. Robert Redford and Brad Pitt deliver great performances and it’s a pleasure to watch them. I don’t think I’ll ever forget the scene in Berlin where Redford trains Brad and sends him to an absolutely unknown balcony. This wonderful scene and their friendship are a true joy to watch.

This is a film with sober ratings and average reviews, but for me, it is Tony Scott's best film and one of those rare cases of action-packed spy drama that I can really appreciate. It's quite typical that this film has much lower ratings than a series of absurdly exaggerated action-packed films. Of course, the screenplay has its flaws here and there, which is why I am not giving it a five-star rating, but Robert Redford is excellent, the film maintains tension practically throughout, with dynamic editing that has nothing to do with choppiness, and especially the parts set in Beirut are precise in terms of action. Overall impression: 85%.

I've missed this movie on TV a few times, and I'm glad I was finally able to see it. I should thank ‘Blesk’ newspaper for the free DVD edition. Spy Game is an otherwise top-notch spy thriller with an excellent acting duo in the lead roles. Redford shows he's still a wisecracking dude in his old age, and Brad Pitt shows again that he looks like he's Redford's son. Plus, Tony Scott's playful camerawork gives the movie an incredibly appealing look. I was most impressed by the roof interview scene (the FUJIFILM sign) and that’s why today’s lesson in the director’s diary reads: "If you want to film an interview in a high quality and dynamic way, film it from a helicopter." ;-)

An amazing old-school gem that beautifully recreates the late 80s-early 90s with a fantastic Robert Redford, a few creative script tricks, and numerous fabulous dialogues and situations. The thing to appreciate about this film is that Tony Scott put everything here. It is truly a "Game", nothing more, nothing less. Tremendously entertaining and attractive.

Tony Scott's bravura spy thriller, whose predatory and dynamic pacing precisely matches the shakily unpredictable world of the clandestine services. The stunning narrative style, which maps out previous important missions alongside the current storyline and gradually fleshes out a complete picture of the close relationship between two key agents, is almost perfect under Scott's direction. The execution itself and especially the use of camera filters, including all the other visual flourishes, is very reminiscent of the best of the 90s, which warms the heart twice over. [85%]
