IT has a marquee name director-producer and a high-voltage cast.
These are the two most interesting aspects of “The Company You Keep.” The film opens today in New York and Los Angeles before rolling out elsewhere. It had its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival.

That’s a lot of starpower for this little thriller based on Neil Gordon’s book of the same name. The plot centers around a former Vietnam-era radical Nick Sloan (RR) who went underground after he was accused of some lawbreaking he may or may not have participated in. He’s guilty of something, but not the crime that the FBI wants to put him away for. Smart guy that he is, Nick remakes himself as Jim Grant. (See video above).

During the chase and search, many characters in the guise of the aforementioned names figure in the mix. So often, films with too much star power turn out to be a big mess. No so for “The Company You Keep,” but it is not a great film either. It is a middling affair that is made all the more bearable because one can gawk at the stars, even if only in a cameo role.
“The Company You Keep” is rated R. Visit http://www.sonyclassics.com/thecompanyyoukeep/ to learn more about the film. Rx
