CIA operative Nathan Muir (Redford) is on the brink of retirement when he finds out that his protege Tom Bishop (Pitt) has been arrested in China for espionage. No stranger to the machinations of the CIA's top echelon, Muir hones all his skills and irreverent manner in order to find a way to free Bishop. As he embarks on his mission to free Bishop, Muir recalls how he recruited and trained the young rookie, at that time a sergeant in Vietnam, their turbulent times together as operatives and the woman who threatened their friendship.
Retiring CIA agent Nathan Muir recalls his training of Tom Bishop while working against agency politics to free him from his Chinese captors.
"Spy Game" was Redford's second bomb in 2001, the first being the completely unwatchable "Last Castle." Judging from Redford's performance in both these films it really might be time for him to concentrate full time on directing. Really, this is an awful, awful film – the kind that makes you grab anyone who liked it and shake them until they get some sense. The worst, among many, of ludicrous sequences is naturally the ending when the US essentially invade China, kill a bunch of Chinese soldiers and free a guy who – let's face it – had no business being there and was totally guilty. And to think some folks on this board call this the "thinking man's action film." Uh-huh.
***possible spoilers*** Spy Game is a solid action movie, and it keeps you on your toes, and the overall plot is solid for an action movie. However, it seems that there are a multitude of sub-plots throughout the movie that are intruiging, yet aren&#39;t allowed to develop because of the overall plot. A great movie plot would be do dwell only on the CIA recruiting, setting up, and training of an agent, as they touched upon with Tom Bishop…<br/><br/>Overall 7 out of 10
It's well-plotted, acted with a charismatic flair and right on the zeitgeist.
Muir lies about his number of wives throughout the movie. He refers to agents and assets that served as cover wives, as his wives. He actually has only been married once to a Korean woman. His one wife stayed in Korea while Muir did two tours in South America. It&#39;s presumed that she has died much earlier. Harry Duncan is located in Hong Kong and played by David Hemmings. We seem him at the beginning of the movie calling Muir at home, and at the end of the movie negotiating the power outage in China. Operation Sideshow was run by the CIA to bug the Chinese side of the trade negotiations happening during the present day in the movie. Tran (the Chinese asset who escapes the prison at the beginning of the movie and is seen in a photograph later) is part of Sideshow, and Bishop piggybacks off this operation by convincing him to share prison schematics and rescue Hadley. Bishop was not a part of this operation, but rather was in China to free Hadley from the prison. She is the mother of the movie&#39;s director Tony Scott (and also mother of Ridley Scott).
