Sneakers (1992) dir. Phil Alden Robinson starring Robert Redford, Dan Aykroyd, Ben Kingsley, Mary McDonnell, River Phoenix, Sidney Poitier. My Voice Is My Passport, Verify Me

did someone bring this up here recently or did i dream it? i can't find anything with search.

anyway this was a fun read https://crimereads.com/sneakers-90s-heist-movies/

i rented this movie probably 10-15 times when i was a teenager. it was funny, made nerds seem cool, and was rated pg-13 (i was not allowed to rent r-rated movies). i loved it. haven't thought about it in years. worth a rewatch?

This movie still whips

i loved how you didn't know what kind of movie it was until halfway through, and then it became the kind of movie you thought it was going to be originally, but with higher stakes. the article above explains it really well.

a tangent, but contact (1997) starring jodie foster had a similar feeling, iirc.

although the part about hacking money from the gop and giving it to amnesty international and greenpeace is kind of lol, very clintonian

This movie still whips

Decent Saturday afternoon entertainment. That cast is so lol '90s.

Also: Ben Kingsley in a ponytail.
