With Spy Game being released this week, it's time to ask ourselves that inevitable question. So would you?
I've always found Redford hard to take as a sex symbol. He's got the whitest teeth on the planet, no doubt about that, but what else does he offer? His face is craggy and worn. This has been aggravated with age but his face was never smooth. Otherwise he's a pretty rugged, macho character but he's no Sean Connery.
As an actor, I liked him best in Sneakers. When he's a guy's guy, I like the man, but when he gets romantic, I don't think there's many worse. Indecent Proposal? Please. That Michelle Pfeiffer film. Ugh! I don't even like him much as the Sundance Kid. That "classic" would be unwatchable if it wasn't for Newman.
I prefer to have Redford behind the camera. I don't think there are many directors better than him, I really don't. Quiz Show was one of the best films of the 90s. And The Legend of Baggar Vance was in my top 5 of last year. Add The River Runs Through It and Ordinary People and you've got a healthy filmography. Just don't mention the Horse Whisperer.
So would I? Yes. Yes I would. But then again I'd sleep with Fat Bastard for a million smackers so my opinion is worthless.
