Sneakers - 8 stars out of 10

Sneakers - 8 stars out of 10

Despite the title's deception that this movie is about a pair of shoes, I was pleased to find a decent espionage thriller.  The title may not suggest a very interesting movie, but this excellent cast speaks for itself.  Redford, Poitier, and Kingsley are fantastic as always.  I particularly enjoyed Stephen Tobolowsky's character and the cameo by James Earl Jones.  Comedy is mixed with dramatic intensity, resulting in a hilarious ending that managed to avoid cheesiness.  It may not be Ocean's Eleven, but it was very entertaining.
