The story unfolded when one of an anti Vietnam war group member decided to turn herself in after 40 years in hiding. Just as you thought so what? Surprises soon follows to the very end. And the dialogues were sharp and thought…

As a child I saw Viet Nam on tv nightly, with body counts (both sides) broadcast nightly.
As an adolescent realizing I may be drafted soon, I was conflicted. This war was indeed ended by domestic protests, peaceful...then violent. I would…

The story is not new, but l always have faith in Robert Redford's and Clint Eastwood's work. They gain their respect through their hard work over the years.

The basic plot was ok but the acting, despite the quality of the cast, was really substandard. Many of the actors seemed stiff and the dialogue felt forced. A decent movie but disappointing considering the cast.

Interesting mix of the (tired) 1960s ideology and enduring human values (don't want to give away the plot surprise!). As a Jones generation member (don't consider myself part of the Weather Underground cohort) it was thought-provoking to…
We as the leader of the 'free' world, this time in SE Asia murdered over 3 million men, women and children!!! and you think we had some 'radicals' and you are judginging them??? I will never get over how brainwashed most Americans are re:…

Some radicals of the 1960's and 1970's grew up and became part of society. It does not mean that they forget the reason they 'fought for their cause'. The killing that any radical groups performed while protesting was not ever accepted.…

I was disappointed by the movie. If it were only trying to be about some 1970s radicals that are found out today and how their discovering makes them have to reconsider the decisions they made back then, it would be OK. However, it is…

I liked the idea of a fast pace thriller spanning 30 years and actually having some thread to historical reality ... and not being too outlandish. It is a good story whose characters seemed like they could be real.

Student radicals of the 1960s who went the whole route, went underground and 30 years later re-surface to face the consequences of idealism carried too far. Excellent movie.

I don't understand all the criticism about this movie? So what if Redford's character is a father of an 8 year old at 70??--It has happened!! It's a solid story, totally believable, and well done all around. Supposed to be taking place in…

If you want to watch a geriatric movie then this is it. Absolutely comical seeing Redford in his 70’s playing a father of a young child and jogging through the woods!!! The story is mediocre at best and zero chemistry between the actors.…

Really good film. Reminded me of the book "Vida" by Marge Piercey, but didn't see anything in the credits referencing this. The characters were believable, not cardboard cutouts of counterculture or activist types. Good acting.

The best movie I watched in the past couple of years. (By the way I usually watch one movie every day). There were not many words of love on the mouths of these 50-something people, but I saw genuine and profound love in their lasting…

Robert Redford strikes me as one of the “good guys” so when I saw his movie with a list of winning actors and actresses, I thought I was in for a juicy/intelligent treat. However I found it very hard to stay awake throughout the film. I…
