30 Jahre nach der faktischen Auflösung der linksradikalen Terroristengruppe wird das ehemalige "The Weather Underground"-Mitglied Sharon Solarz (Susan Sarandon) verhaftet. Der talentierte junge Journalist Ben Shepard (Shia LaBeouf) wird auf den Fall aufmerksam und begibt sich zusammen mit seinem Chefredakteur Ray Fuller (Stanley Tucci) auf die Suche nach weiteren Informationen über die Organisation und ihre abgetauchten Ex-Angehörigen. Er findet heraus, dass der erfolgreiche Anwalt Jim Grant (Robert Redford) früher ebenfalls ein "Weatherman" war und lässt dessen Identität auffliegen. Jetzt klebt das FBI an den Fersen von Grant, der versucht, seinen Namen wieder reinzuwaschen. Und auch Shepard bleibt hartnäckig an dem Anwalt dran, um seine Story zu kriegen, was den Bundespolizisten wiederum gar nicht gefällt... (Verleiher-Text)

Robert Redford meant well in this movie. It is a pity, however, that there is no suspense in the movie and the only thing keeping it afloat are the acting performances. There is a great lot of actors – Shia LaBeouf, Robert Redford, Susan Sarandon, Nick Nolte, Brendan Gleeson and my favorite Anna Kendrick. Still, I have to admit that some of the scenes were quite interesting, but they did not fit in with the otherwise mediocre thriller focused on secret agents whose length is comparable with a two-hour wait for a stamp at a random South African office.

Currently, when films like "30 Minutes After Midnight" or "Argo" are being created, "Rules of Silence" are still a simpler work that won't impress as much. It wants to show us how deep different intrigues can go, how one event can influence the lives of others, but it's just too simple, too kind. If Redford had toughened up, it could have been a more interesting hunt for one man, but this way it's just a political thriller that doesn't fully meet today's needs. Although independent, still very Hollywood. More: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2013/05/pravidla-mlceni-2012-50.html

A journalistic obsession with the "scoop", ancient sins of the past, and a noble parental motive at the forefront of it all, which is the key and perhaps a seeming panacea. The film also operates well on the level of the clash of the generations, where LaBeouf's character can learn something "about life" from Redford's, and indeed vice versa. As a result, it's much more of a sort of slightly meditative crime drama that isn't thriller-esque and contains essentially no action scenes. Except that Robert Redford pulls it all off and has a cast of actors for whom, with one exception, I have almost boundless respect. [75%]

A sort of light-weight spy classic that doesn’t really require a review. Redford’s wrinkles have drained some of his stamina, but improved his directing skills. It’s just a shame that he doesn’t make better use of the radical background to do a bit of politics, rather than just a catalyst for family problems. But it’s fine when Shia talks with Redford.
