Universal's Spy Game DVD demonstrates just how much entertainment a DVD can provide. The movie stars Robert Redford as a veteran CIA operative and Brad Pitt as the young spook that he brings under his wing and takes a shine to. However, the movie, which is presented in full frame with a 1.33:1 aspect ratio and Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound, is almost incidental to the wealth of special features on the DVD. The disc contains two commentary tracks: one by director Tony Scott and one by producers Douglas Wick and Marc Abraham. It also includes production notes, cast and filmmakers notes, a script-to-storyboard segment with Scott, DVD-ROM features, CIA information, and alternative versions and deleted scenes. Possibly the most unique feature in all of this is the way Universal has folded the making-of documentary into the movie itself in a feature called "Clandestine OPS." When a special icon appears on the screen, viewers can access it and go directly to the filmmakers talking about how they made the particular scene that's appearing onscreen. The Spy Game DVD is as multi-layered as the movie itself.

Todays Star versus Old Star

Hollywood is trying to link the old school Hollywood by using Robert Redford, the all american good looking actor from the fifties and sixties, to the current screen idol Brad Pitt. One does think that putting these two in the same shot, one cannot help comparing the actors. Is this what Brad will look like in thirties years? Robert's acting is always consistantly good and Brad's theatrics, such as throwing a chair off a high rise building in suppose anger(heaven help the people that the chair landed on) is sometimes too funny. Brad looks out of place in Vietnam, I don't remember military haircut lookin like the Beatles hairdo. Brad was not cast well for this part. Robert was. The rest of the cast in the CIA meeting was casted well and realistic. Overall it was not a bad movie...
What's great about it: Espionage is always interesting
What's not so great: Overused story
I would recommend this to a friend!

Provocative to say the least

This is a movie that I saw in the early 80's and not only it was controversial at the time it was written, but unique in that it was wriiten by a woman instead of a man. It dispelled the myth that women didn't know how to write erotic stories but this author not only wrote it, but wrote it well. I have to say this movie aroused me very much. This genre belongs with such great movies 9 1/2 weeks, The Postman always rings twice and BodyHeat. Enjoy !
What's great about it: This is a movie that people still talk about to this day
I would recommend this to a friend!
