What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Company You Keep is a (frustratingly) slow-burning thriller about very contemporary issues.

Marjorie Baumgarten

Austin Chronicle

This chase film combines elements of the thriller and newspaper procedural to create a contemporary saga about political idealism, stone-cold realities, and the repercussions of past deeds on future innocents.

Rated: 3/5

Battleship Pretension

It ultimately settles, like many of its characters did, for pleasant mediocrity.

Marco L La idea es interesante, pero la ejecución no logra enganchar como se esperaba. La narrativa resulta monótona, lo que disminuye el misterio del thriller. Aunque Robert Redford ofrece una actuación sólida, la película se siente pesada y convencional, careciendo de la profundidad necesaria. Los dilemas morales quedan a medio camino, dejando una sensación de incongruencia. En general, es un thriller correcto pero sin el impacto esperado. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review Nicolas P I thought this would be boring, but was totally surprised! It starts off a little slow and increasingly get moving and more interesting. It is a very good movie. The acting and story are great! Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/07/24 Full Review Lucio Leonardo P Because it has a tied-up story, with certain twists, the film is good, but it's very slow and the things that happen are kind of predictable, so it becomes a little tiring. The actors' performance does not disappoint. Let's say it's a “turtle” chase entertainment, with no action, just talk, without the protection of a good script in hand (...tudum pish 🥁...) Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/04/24 Full Review Horror fan 4 A thriller filled with a lot of talented actors but with a mediocre script. A very disappointing movie. Tim Treakle Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review Lynn F Too hard to take Redford at 77 playing a dad with an 11 year old who should be no more then 50 just makes every scene feel so off Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/14/24 Full Review eric h I am talking about the tv Series the company you keep that was a fantastic first series. As usual rotten labels did a terrible job. I can't believe Disney canceled this series. It was one of the best I've seen in a long time.. Please bring it back.Eric Hager Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
