I enjoy the movie quite a bit. Everyone may not share my thoughts but watching the actors is fun.The movie is silly and fun and has a bit of suspense. Overall I enjoyed the movie. It was fun.

Totally underrated film. I'm surprised not more people know about it. Definitely worth a watch and to see familiar faces.

A Look Back at Early Tech

Sneakers is one of my movie-seeing pleasures. It was a suspense thriller with comedy sprinkled in that had fun at the same time. Although there was some violence, it was adventurous and you enjoyed going through the characters' journey.
Robert Redford's Martin Bishop leads a rag-tag team of misfits all with mysterious pasts doing security jobs for clients. Bishop has a dark past as well and his latest job (involving shady characters, supposed crooked governments, assassins, etc.) threatens to expose him.
After a long wait, it's finally on Blu-ray. If you have/had the DVD, the extras are the same. The A/V quality is passable and serviceable, but in no way demo material. But one should not expect it to be for a 1992 movie. The quality is slightly higher than its DVD so that's enough to warrant a recommendation.

"Sneakers" is a movie, it's not just shoes

I find "Sneakers" a perfectly satisfying experience, both as a movie and as something you put your foot in. In this case, I'm referring to the movie. In some ways, the story is a little by-the-numbers, but somehow it manages to whip out a few surprises. The transfer on this blu-ray is decent and the special features are acceptable for this price. Other "sneakers" are essential for walking outside and some are better than others, but unlike this blu-ray, the sneakers you wear on your feet don't have a lossless DTS audio track that sounds pretty good for a decades-old property. Unless there's been a new development in footwear lately that I'm unaware of.

Crime thriller with a generous dash of humor

The film is an solid crime drama with dashes of hacking activism,
humor, and cold war heavy hitters. The central characters find themselves caught between various powerful groups that don't play nice.
The three special features are limited and there are no trailers for other movies. The main menu is poorly design and needs to be activated with the player's remote control.

This one get's missed frequently, but I really love it, and it's been one of the most re-watched films in my home since it's release in the '90's. It has a great cast, all in the prime of their careers, and it resonates as powerfully today as it did when it came out. If you like suspense and count yourself a bit conspiratorial at all, I think you'll really enjoy this film!

This movie has a great plot line. It combines action and comedy with some of the best actors in the business. You can't go wrong with Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, Dan Ackroyd, and River Phoenix. This one is not played a lot on channels and should be an addition to your collection.

Really good thriller with a great cast. Robert Redford leads a sort of Mission Impossible team with the usual assortment of guys each with a unique skill and 1 gal (Mary McDonnell) looking to steal a piece of high tech equipment. My favorite character is a sort of out of character Dan Aykroyd. Not his usual character like in Ghostbusters or Blus Brothers.

Sneakers - dated technology but still fun

So some of the computer technology is dated, but the wonderful actors and interesting plot of this often neglected 90s action (suspense thriller) movie, make it still enjoyable to watch. The team dynamics in this movie provide great chemistry amongst all the actors. The Blu Ray is an improvement over the DVD, and I'm glad to add it to my collection.

What a wonderful overlooked and forgotten about heist comedy filled with great well known actors. This is one of my most recommended movies I tell people.

This is one of my favorite Spy movies of all time!! Such a great cast and a movie that is beautifully shot in San Francisco!! This movie will keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat the whole way through! Universal did a great job on the HD transfer too! Don't miss out!!!

This movie has great actors who are great in their roles, but this story is BORING!! I am a huge movie buff and like movies from every genre and time period, but "Sneakers" feel dated in a negative way. Not worth purchasing....I don't regret buying it, but wish I hadn't purchased it.

My sister and I had been looking to get my Mom the movie "Sneakers" as a gift since 2015. But this year, we finally found it on the internet at Best Buy! It arrived in good time and it played well without any glitches or problems. Our Mom likes it a lot!

Great cast. Great story. With a few minor exceptions, this story still holds up and is just as relevant today. Some parts even more so. On blu-ray, this is the best this movie has ever looked. Also includes a pretty informative making of documentary.

Sneakers is one of those movies worth watching just because of the great cast; but, you find yourself being pulled into its hokey premise despite your better judgement. It's just a movie worth watching any time you feel the need for a fun time.

A fun cat and mouse movie with fun characters, a surprising amount of tension, and plot holes that are easy to ignore. Spend an evening with Redford, Poitier, Phoenix, and the Croyd and watch people do spy stuff.

Movie has never looked better. I had it on VHS back in the day, then DVD, and now finally on bluray. As much as I like the movie I don't think I'll be searching it out on 4k if it ever hits that format.

Sneakers is one of those films you could turn on any time and watch. It's funny, smart and features a terrific ensemble cast led by Robert Redford. Finally on blu-ray for the first time as a Best Buy exclusive until May.

Upgrading DVD's to Blu-Ray makes the viewing experience better, especially with favorite shows like, "Sneakers". And the digital copy, if available, makes your favorites ready anywhere, anytime.
