Critic Reviews

Jesse Hassenger

Tobolowsky, anagrams, blind driving, a jazzy but tense James Horner score—this movie has everything, and it’s all deceptively well engineered. Read full review

Jeff Shannon

It's far-fetched yet (for entertainment's sake) entirely credible, and the abundant comedy is intelligent enough to advance a serious and surprisingly sophisticated plot. [09 Sep 1992, p.F3]

John Swansburg

It’s action-packed without being too violent, and smart without taking itself too seriously. Read full review

Desson Thomson

If you think of Sneakers as a slick, updated Mission: Impossible, it's a lot of fun. It revels in the excitement of breaking security codes, slipping past guards and getting to the prize. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

Sneakers is an agreeably lightweight caper thriller that has absolutely nothing to do with Reeboks or basketball. Read full review

Odie Henderson

It’s a surprise to discover a cerebral, 25-year-old film following the blueprint for today’s endless glut of superhero movies. It certainly operates on this level for the masses. Read full review

Vincent Canby

Sneakers is jokey without being funny, breathless without creating suspense, in part because of the feeble plot. Read full review

apparently a sequel of sorts to Wargames, the cast doesn't get stronger than this: River Phoenix, Robert Redford, Sydney Poitier, Ben Kingsley. 1992, a good year. River Phoenix still alive, Mary McDonnell just fresh off Dances with Wolves. Photography looks great, a fun light movie, partapparently a sequel of sorts to Wargames, the cast doesn't get stronger than this: River Phoenix, Robert Redford, Sydney Poitier, Ben Kingsley. 1992, a good year. River Phoenix still alive, Mary McDonnell just fresh off Dances with Wolves. Photography looks great, a fun light movie, part Three Days of the Condor, part Wargames. My favorite scene is when the hack a computer with Scrabble tiles, so innocent and fun. Plotwise, it's a very tame Mission Impossible.… Expand
