Spy Game is the best spy film of all time!

Spy Game is a fantastic film. I have given this film a perfect ten because it is one of the only films that I can watch over and over again.

Robert Redford is superb as Nathan Muir. He plays the role with complete authenticity. From beginning to end this film keeps the viewer interested as Redford tries to play catch up with fellow CIA agents using every trick that he acquired during his time as a field agent.

Brad Pitt plays his best role to date. He becomes the apprentice agent learning along the way but also showing that he will not be told what to do.

Redford and Pitt combine perfectly in this one, it is an absolute pleasure to watch the two on screen together and one can only hope that will rejoin once again in the future.

In addition, the supporting cast is superb. All the other agents in the movie play incredible roles which makes for a very realistic view of CIA operations.

This movie is a classic spy thriller and probably the best in this genre. This movie makes the The Bourne Supremacy look a typical Hollywood cliché.

score 10/10
