No, this is not a movie with Shia LaBeouf doing shit Punisher style or anything like that. Instead it’s a thriller with Robert Redford, who looks to be doing most of the action.
I’ve been hearing great things about THE COMPANY YOU KEEP. Definitely worth a watch since we haven’t seen Redford do any acting since 2007’s LIONS FOR LAMBS. This role looks like a good one to return to. I know several of us have already mentioned it, but the entire cast is a good one: Redford, LaBeouf, Susan Sarandon, Julie Christie, Sam Elliott, Brendan Gleeson, Terrence Howard, Richard Jenkins, Anna Kendrick, Brit Marling, Stanley Tucci, Nick Nolte, and Chris Cooper. Having a script from Lem Dobbs (THE LIMEY, HAYWIRE) doesn’t hurt either.
Enjoy the second trailer below.
Synopsis: Jim Grant (Redford) is a widowed single father and attorney living in Albany. What none of his friends or clients know is that Jim was once a member of the activist/terrorist organization the Weather Underground. Wanted for robbery and the murder of a security guard, Jim has been in hiding for more than thirty years. When another former Weatherman (Susan Sarandon) turns herself in to the FBI, Ben Shepard (Shia LaBeouf), an aggressive young journalist, starts sniffing around for leads. He gradually finds his way to Jim, not suspecting that this seemingly upright citizen is himself a former militant activist. Concerned that Ben will eventually discover his true identity, Jim flees, though a safe harbour may prove difficult to find.
THE COMPANY YOU KEEP gets a limited release on April 5, 2013.
