I’ve got to
admit, I disagree with the majority on this one, but we’ll get to that, Spy
Game was released in 2001 and starred Robert Redford and Brad Pitt. It made
some money, not much, only $143m on a colossal (for this kind of movie) $115m
budget. Bearing in mind that theatres take a cut of that and any promotional
expenditure, I’d be surprised if this wasn’t a loss for the production
companies.
The movie
met with reasonably positive reception, a 66% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a 7/10
on IMDb and 63% on MetaCritic but as my first statement told you, I’m not going
to be one of those people. Why not, well, let’s take a look?
