But that's the only problem with the movie. Robert Redford is in top form as Martin Bishop. He gives the character a comical twist, but still has his seriousness that the character probably had when written. The humorous side is funny and adds more depth to the boring, unoriginal hero. Dan Aykroyd is hilarious as the cynical, but intelligent member of the crew.
River Phoenix is good as the annoying, though hard-trying kid.
David Strathairn is wonderfully funny as the blind expert that actually finds the black box. Mary McDonnell is, as always, charming and witty. Sneakers is rated PG-13. The violence is kept to a minimum, which is a nice relief from those violent espionage movies. The language is light and not very offensive.
