Robert Redford is no fool. The screen icon and celebrated director knows
full well that audiences wouldn’t be very patient with his latest film,
“The Company You Keep,” without the security and color of a large cast
made up of famous faces. It’s a smart move, providing a sense of
stability with this labyrinthine tale of aging radicals, weighty
secrets, and dubious journalism, with the talent helping to ease the
often scattered feel of the storytelling — an effort that faces a
difficult job of establishing numerous names and places. Never
underestimate these modest flashes of star power, as the ensemble
manufactures the suspense and reflection necessary to make “The Company
You Keep” stick as a stirring drama and as a statement of generational
idealism greeting the golden years. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
