The film remains, next to Field of Dreams, one of the world's oddest baseball movies. Roy Hobbs (Redford) is a child wunderkind at the game. After playing some ball at a carnival, he's summarily shot in the chest by a femme fatale (Barbara Hershey), who is clearly working for agents that want him not to be the greatest player of all time, which Hobbs says he aims to be.

 | | 12. 3 Days of the Condor | | | Starring: Cliff Robertson Faye Dunaway Director: Sydney Pollack | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/11/2006 |  | Three Days of the Condor - DVD Review By: Chris Cabin - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 6/1/2009 8:39 PM | |
In Sydney Pollack's strange spy thriller Three Days of the Condor, Robert Redford plays a playful and somewhat geeky analyst for the C.I.A. He spends his days reading books, journals, and any manner of written correspondence that is published or publicly available, searching for codes, keywords, and country names to cross-reference with Langley. He has a code name, Condor, which he has no particular use for until the day he returns from a lunch run to find his entire department murdered. Suddenly, he is on the lam, indulging in ramshackle espionage plots and rubbing elbows with foreign assassins. He's not a spy but he plays one pretty well. read the full review | |

 | | 45. Lions For Lambs (Fullscreen) | | | Starring: Meryl Streep Michael Pena Director: Robert Redford | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/19/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Lions for Lambs - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/8/2009 5:39 PM | |
Lions for Lambs is an op-ed piece masquerading as a motion picture, a candid and cynical lecture series that indicts any institution remotely connected to the ongoing Iraqi conflict. The sentiments expressed should trigger discussions, but they don't add up to an interesting movie. Earlier this year, screenwriter Matthew Michael Carnahan pressed similar buttons with his Middle East muscle thriller The Kingdom. read the full review | |
