This is a thriller about a group of Weathermen (violent protesters and activists of the 1970's) who went into hiding after a bank robbery in which a security guard was shot and killed. One of them (who is a housewife many years later - Susan Sarandon) is captured and that leads the authorities to Jim Grant (Robert Redford), a small town attorney. He (Grant) has a yound daughter and is a widower and has to go on the run to try and clear his name for the murder. He was involved with the group, but not at the bank robbery.

This movie has a great cast, besides Director, Redford, including Shia LeBoef, Chris Cooper, Susan Sarandon, Stanley Tucci, Nick Nolte, Julie Christie and more.

people who like thrillers and fast paced movies. It was good on that level.

My main problem with the movie is that Redford is too old for his part - way too old at close to 80. No face lift can help him with the way he moves, which is like a guy who is afraid of breaking a hip. I could relate to that fear.

There are a lot of face lifts in this movie. Chris Cooper, Tucci and Nolte are the only ones over 50 that don't look like they've enriched the plastic surgery guys.

Julie Christie getting a face lift is a darned shame.

never get a face lift.

a bit sad, but it was entertaining.

is a great acting cast, but the looks are a bit scary to behold.
