Film Preview: The Company You Keep

An impressive ensemble cast (and Shia LeBeouf) has come together for this political thriller which has flown a little under the radar here in the UK. The Weather Underground movement was an organization made up of radical left wing protesters who committed bombings and jailbreaks during the 1970's in protest against the Vietnam War with them mostly targeting banks and government buildings.


An ex-Weather Underground militant learns that his compatriot in a bank robbery in the 1970's has been arrested and that he is now being sought, when a journalist learns of his true identity he tries to get his daughter to safety as well as escaping himself.

The Company You Keep is released in the UK on the 23rd July 2013 and the trailer is embedded below:
