Critics Consensus

The Company You Keep is a (frustratingly) slow-burning thriller about very contemporary issues.

Jan 3, 2014 Full Review The Company You Keep | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle This chase film combines elements of the thriller and newspaper procedural to create a contemporary saga about political idealism, stone-cold realities, and the repercussions of past deeds on future innocents.

Nicolas P I thought this would be boring, but was totally surprised! It starts off a little slow and increasingly get moving and more interesting. It is a very good movie. The acting and story are great! Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/07/24 Full Review Lucio Leonardo P Because it has a tied-up story, with certain twists, the film is good, but it's very slow and the things that happen are kind of predictable, so it becomes a little tiring. The actors' performance does not disappoint. Let's say it's a “turtle” chase entertainment, with no action, just talk, without the protection of a good script in hand (...tudum pish 🥁...) Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/04/24 Full Review Horror fan 4 A thriller filled with a lot of talented actors but with a mediocre script. A very disappointing movie. Tim Treakle Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review Lynn F Too hard to take Redford at 77 playing a dad with an 11 year old who should be no more then 50 just makes every scene feel so off Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/14/24 Full Review eric h I am talking about the tv Series the company you keep that was a fantastic first series. As usual rotten labels did a terrible job. I can't believe Disney canceled this series. It was one of the best I've seen in a long time.. Please bring it back.Eric Hager Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Georgan G Having lived through the era of the Weathermen, I liked how the audience was being educated as to why the far left became violent. Right on, man. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/24 Full Review Read all reviews
