A very disappointing film for several reasons. One, directed by and starring Robert Redford, this 2013 offering deals with a subject I care and know about, the radical antiwar movement of the 1960s and ‘70s and Weather in particular. It posits RR (73 or 74 when the film was made) as a former Weatherman gone underground after the movement dissolved He’s in flight following a bank robbery gone bad (a guard was killed) and he’s created a new life as a liberal lawyer. All ‘blows up’ when one of his former comrades (well played by Susan Sarandan) turns herself in. He goes back underground on the run – and watching him and Christie run is no fun at all. Two, this is a primo cast including Julie Christie, Nick Nolte, Sam Elliott, Richard Jenkins, Brendan Gleeson, Stanley Tucci and Chris Cooper With a group of heavy hitters like that, I expected much more. But it also casts Shia LaBeouf as a snarky young reporter, a poorly written bit and Britt Manning as the acerbic daughter of a cop. The plot is convoluted and ‘wrong,’ the dialogue often sounds like position papers, and it’s just not credible. I’m very sorry to have this response, because the topic is important, the issues need discussion, and the cast has huge star power, but the film just doesn’t make it for me. Maybe it was my mood
