THE COMPANY YOU KEEP (ROBERT REDFORD, 2012)
OFFICIAL SITE: http://www.sonyclassics.com/thecompanyyoukeep/
A thriller centered on a former Weather Underground activist who goes on
the run from a journalist who has discovered his identity. Jim Grant
(Robert Redford) is a public interest lawyer and single father raising
his daughter in the tranquil suburbs of Albany, New York. Grant's world
is turned upside down,when a brash young reporter named Ben Shepard
(Shia LaBeouf) exposes his true identity as a former 1970s antiwar
radical fugitive wanted for murder. After living for more than 30 years
underground, Grant must now go on the run. With the FBI in hot pursuit,
he sets off on a cross-country journey to track down the one person that
can clear his name.
Shepard knows the significance of the national news story he has exposed and, for a journalist, this is an opportunity of a lifetime. Hell-bent on making a name for himself, he is willing to stop at nothing to capitalize on it. He digs deep into Grant's past. Despite warnings from his editor and threats from the FBI, Shepard relentlessly tracks Grant across the country. As Grant reopens old wounds and reconnects with former members of his antiwar group, the Weather Underground, Shepard realizes something about this man is just not adding up. With the FBI closing in, Shepard uncovers the shocking secrets Grant has been keeping for the past three decades. As Grant and Shepard come face to face in the wilderness of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, they each must come to terms with who they really are.

CRITICS REVIEWS
"The disparate elements in The Company You Keep
are robustly collated by the keen, well-crafted direction of a master
filmmaker at the top of his form. It's only April, but this is one of
the best films of 2013 (...)"
Rex Reed: The New York Observer
"There's enough plot to stuff a miniseries, but
Redford never loses sight of the human drama (...) A riveting, resonant
political thriller that values the complexity of its characters and the
intelligence of its audience (...)"
Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"The Company You Keep" is 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"
Betsy Sharkey: Los Angeles Times
"Robert Redford makes a welcome return to
double-duty as director and lead actor in this clear-eyed drama about a
former Weather Underground radical forced to reconcile with the past"
David Rooney: The Hollywood Reporter
"The Company You Keep chews on issues of
violence in a muffled way, but restraint is not the quality this story
was calling for"
Owen Gleiberman: Entertainment Weekly

CRÍTICAS
"El tema es muy interesante, pero la realización es plana, la monotonía narrativa arruina el misterio."
Carlos Boyero: Diario El País
"Un anodino recital de lugares comunes. Todos
ellos, eso sí, perfectamente progresistas. Al final, queda simplemente
un 'thriller' correcto y sin alma"
Luis Martínez: Diario El Mundo
"Correcto thriller nostálgico (...)"
Irene Crespo: Cinemanía
"Lo que pesa en el filme es su dimensión de
«thriller» tedioso y convencional, (...) aderezado con un «revival»
amoroso, y no la complejidad de los dilemas morales de su
planteamiento"
Sergi Sánchez: Diario La Razón
"Las dos temáticas se quedan a medio camino y
el proyecto parece acabar en una vía muerta, como si Redford no fuese
capaz de llegar más allá, perdido en el laberinto que él mismo ha creado
(...)"
José Manuel Cuéllar: Diario ABC
"Redford construye un thriller que apuesta por
un estilo Pollack, o Lumet, o Pakula (...), el suyo es un film a
contracorriente, cuya eficacia y solvencia narrativa no esconden cierto
cansancio (...)"
Álex Montoya: Fotogramas
"Los elementos dispares en 'The Company You
Keep' se unen con firmeza gracias a la dirección experta y pulida de un
realizador magistral en plena forma. Es sólo Abril, pero este es uno de
los mejores filmes del 2013 (...)"
Rex Reed: The New York Observer
Hoy he visto esta peli en inglés con subtítulos en español, es un tema interesante.
