    Based on the novel by Neil Gordon, The Company You Keep tells the story of Jim Grant (Redford), a public interest lawyer and single father raising his daughter in the tranquil suburbs of Albany, New York. Grant's world is turned upside down when a brash young reporter (LaBeouf) exposes his true identity as a former 1970's antiwar radical fugitive wanted for murder. After living for more than 30 years underground, Grant must now go on the run. With the FBI in hot pursuit, he sets off on a cross-country journey to track down the one person who can clear his name. (Gary Reber)

    Special features include two behind-the-scenes featurettes: The Movement (HD 12:14) and The Script, Preparation And The Cast (HD 17:52); On The Red Carpet at the New York premiere (HD 02:20); a press conference with Robert Redford, Stanley Tucci, Brit Marling, and Jackie Evancho (HD 13:19); the theatrical trailer; upfront previews; and an UltraViolet digital copy.

    The 2.39:1 1080p AVC picture was photographed digitally and exhibits a cinematic natural appearance, with well-balanced color saturation and hues that are rich and warm. Fleshtones are healthily hued and natural as well. Contrast is well balanced with excellent blacks and shadow delineation. Resolution is excellent, with fine detail revealed throughout, especially in close-ups of facial features, hair, clothing, and object texture. The imagery is pristine throughout. This is a really superb visual experience that projects realism. (Gary Reber)

    The DTS-HD Master Audio™ 5.1-channel soundtrack delivers effective and realistic atmospherics, with subtle directionalized surround immersion. Sound effects are occasionally punctuated for dramatic effect. The orchestral music score is nicely recorded with a wide and deep soundstage that extends to the surrounds. Deep bass in the .1 LFE channel supports the music and sound effects. Dialogue is decently integrated spatially. This is an effective and engaging sonic experience that perfectly complements the suspense. (Gary Reber)

    Reason #35 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    While on vacation at my uncle's house, I was introduced to WSR. My instinct told me it was just another A/V magazine. Once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down, and I knew this was a keeper. The number one question I receive at work is which is the best sounding movie. With the help of your movie reviews, I now have people calling my cell just to find out which new release sounds the best. Your reviews are always on target! Your product reviews have increased my knowledge beyond expectations. I know that when someone asks me about a new product on the market, all I have to do is wait for my next issue to show up. Your philosophy on sound systems has totally changed the way I go about selling and setting up surround sound systems in my customer’s houses. Thanks to WSR I've been able to increase my sales, knowledge, and gain customer satisfaction. In my pursuit for sound perfection WSR is one of my valued assets.
