“This film is about a journalist who uncovers the hidden truth of the events of a failed bank robbery by a radical anti-war group thirty years ago.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;The Company You Keepu0026quot; looks amazing on paper, with an impressively stellar cast. The plot involves both a journalist and the FBI chasing after Robert Redford, which appears to have much tension but there really isnu0026#39;t. The journalist has the upper hand in unravelling the stories, making the FBI rather displeased. This supposed rivalry between the two parties is not portrayed deep enough, for example, the search warrant subplot was not followed through. How the journalist uncovers all that information was not presented, and hence I was confused about a few things, such as how he knew about the former policemanu0026#39;s daughteru0026#39;s true identity, and how he knew the true intention of Robert Redfordu0026#39;s cross-state travels. There are too many loose ends and unexplained subplots, and too little tension. u0026quot;The Company You Keepu0026quot; could have been better, but is still worth watching for the stellar cast.”
