Robert Redford is on the Run in Sneakers

by dragonfire88 dragonfire88 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, May 27 '08
Pros: Wonderful cast in a very entertaining movie.
Cons: Few slower spots.
Robert Redford has made many movies during his career. I have only seen some of them, but I have liked the ones I have seen for the most part. I really enjoyed Sneakers< b>< i>, a mystery from 1992. Martin Bishop< b> ran a company ...

Jeepers Creepers, Where'd You Get Those** Sneakers **...

by captaind captaind is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Feb 06 '09
Pros: Fantastic cast, great script, loads of humour...
Cons: ... a few bits that may offend some, otherwise nothing.
Sneakers is one of my all-time favourite films and I've lost count of how many times I've seen it.  It starts off with a couple of teenagers hacking into various organisations and misappropriating funds - not to themselves, but to worthwhile ...

When Hippies Spook The CIA

by bilavideo bilavideo is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Nov 24 '05
Pros: funny, poignant, good character orchestration
Cons: uneven tone, mixing a thriller with light comedy
When I was kid, growing up in southern Arizona, the late-night news would begin with the announcement, "It's ten o'clock. Do you know where your children are?" Released in 1992, Sneakers is a light comic thriller that ought to begin with a similar ...

A Caper for the Computer Generation

by seth25 , Jul 23 '07
Pros: Redford and Kingsley
Cons: None. It plays for what it is.
This film did reasonably well in the theatres but I missed it for some reason. I'm a big Redford fan but his later work has been uneven, for me. He seems unsure of what he wants to deliver with his acting (on and off, ever since Out of Africa), and I ...

The computer geek's caper

by Chad9976 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jun 13 '08
Pros: Wholly original concept; many suspenseful moments; impressive computer hacking scenes.
Cons: The story is pretty convoluted and difficult to believe.
“Sneakers” is another one of those flicks with lots of impressive gadgets, computer hacking and amazing works of sleuth. However, it's lighthearted with a good distribution of comedy and important themes to make for the adventure the other films try for, ...

All-star cast fares well

by ShermanCH , Mar 30 '00
Pros: Great Cast, Directing, and script
Cons: A bit long and stretchy at the end
Sneakers, which came out in 1992, was timed just right to capitalize on the growing trend that technology was becoming more of a weapon than a tool.

This high-tech caper, directed by Phil Alden Robinson (who also did Field of Dreams), has a...

Finally! A comedy for intelligent people.

by glake Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 03 '00
Pros: great cast, lots of twists, plenty of action
Cons: they haven't made a sequel
What a great cast! This is a fun movie with plenty of excitement and plenty of action, plenty of comedy and plenty of drama. But it's the great acting by a nearly perfect cast that really makes this one special.

Robert Redford stars as Marty...

A popcorn flick with intelligence.

by jeff_wilder78 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Apr 24 '01
Pros: Cast, Exciting Storyline
Cons: None
High tech and the movies can make for an uneasy marriage. For proof of this, look at super flops like Johnny Mneumonic and Virtuosity. However when done right high tech elements can make a movie work very well. Sneakers is a good example of this. ...

High-tech for its time

by Taishan , Aug 04 '00
Pros: Great cast and story as well as re-watch value
Cons: nothing major
Ah, the reason my friends and I became hack... err... "computer based explorers". Yeah, that's it!

This movie came out in 1992. At that time the internet wasn't even heard of. People used modem to modem communication to transfer...

When you don't want to think...

by Daniel_Linehan , May 28 '00
Pros: Fun. Lots of fun.
Cons: Not the most original in the world.
...you should get this movie. If _The Straight Story_ (the last movie I reviewed) proves the value of substance over style, this movie proves just the opposite. And it is a very well done movie, the movie that _Mission Impossible_ aspired to be.

Krista's Sneakers Opinion

by kansasgirl12 , Jun 04 '01
Pros: High-tech, funny, suspenseful, great acting.
Cons: Not a simple movie to watch.
Robert Redford strikes again! This one is for all of the geeks out there who secretly want to be action heroes. Computers can be deadly, remote sensing devices can be dangerous, and a dorky little guy with a nasal voice and a license plate advertising...

Hackers? This is more realistic!

by endurance , Sep 18 '00
Pros: Great Cast, Great Plot
Cons: Technolgy concepts in movie a tad aged, but still believable.
I love technology. Look at a majority of my reviews here on Epinions. Hardware & Software, and online services. Well I rembmered this movie from a long time ago, and when on Half.com they had a copy for sale for $3.81. A video, working for under $5...

VERY high tech Sneakers!

by MyLL3N1uM , Apr 20 '00
Pros: Directing, Script, Cast, Crew, Music, Cinematography - Everything!
Cons: Absolutely none - it's outstanding!
I have to start out by saying this is one of the best action-comedy movies that has ever been made! It is one of my favorite movies, and it has been simply ignored or glazed over by most critics and people, and I have to say it deserves a LOT of...

A Great All Time Movie Of Laughter

by NascarTigger , Feb 27 '00
Pros: Havoc and laughter!
Cons: None!
Robert Redford, Dan Aykroyd, River Pheonix- need I really say more about this movie? Together with Sidney Poitier, David Strathairn and Mary McDonnell, they form a group of hackers that test security systems.

But the movie is about the...
