Ratings: 7.3/10Film Class: B+
Genre: Action Thriller
A top CIA operative Tom Bishop (Brad Pitt) went rogue and was captured during his own mission in China, and it's up to his retiring mentor (Robert Redford) to recount his training days to the higher ups for them to determine if Tom Bishop is worth saving.
Capturing this 2001 classic really reminded me of how much Hollywood has evolved over the last decade. I have given this movie a much higher rating now than I would have years ago. The film style emphasizes mostly on flashbacks, the starting sequence, the scenes progression as well as the ending all made the movie experience a highly memorable one.

I was surprised to see Adrian Pang, Singapore's very own Medicorp artist acting in this movie, alongside Brad Pitt and Ken Leung (from the Hollywood drama Lost). Haven't seen any of Robert Redford's movies but this movie alone was enough to showcase his impressive performance.
Engaging, Intelligent, Explosive and definitely one of the more stylo milo blockbuster spy movies out there. That was the Tony Scott I knew, not the same Tony Scott who directed Unstoppable. A good watch for me.
