I confess: I like it when Redford takes the helm in front of and behind the camera. Having grown up in the '60s, I felt a certain relationship with the film (though I was never a member of the Weathermen). The beautiful Susan Sarandon plays a wife who was once a revolutionary, gets tired of the pressure of the secret, and is on her way to turning herself in, when she is arrested for a past crime (a man was killed in a bank robbery that took place in the '60s). The rest of that ol' gang of hers (Redford and a really wonderfully crotchety Nick Nolte, among others) all get nervous that Sarandon will rat them out. Shia LeBeouf plays the young, hungry journalist, who gets in deeper than he intends. The wonderful cast also includes Stanley Tucci, Terrence Howard, Chris Cooper, Julie Christie, Brit Marlin and Sam Elliott. It's a joy to see them all interact.
