A breezy all-star caper film that has more of a connection with throwbacks like The Hot Rock and The Italian Job than contemporaries like Reservoir Dogs, SNEAKERS features Robert Redford as Marty Bishop, the leader of a security consulting firm who is secretly a fugitive former hacker. In a rare comedic performance outside of his own films, Poitier plays a former CIA agent and member of Marty’s team.
