...home team in this movie has the shambling air of good-natured, slightly out-of-it sandlotters. Bishop (a well-cast Robert Redford) is a sometime merry prankster, still on the run for computer crimes he committed in the '60s; he now heads a marginal enterprise that does legalized breaking and entering designed to test corporate security systems. His associates include a defrocked cia operative (Sidney Poitier); a gentle paranoid (Dan Aykroyd) who believes the same group that killed Jack Kennedy also framed Pete Rose; a blind computer whiz (David Strathairn) whose keyboard -- and Playboy -- are in Braille...

Even a reverent adaptation would have been fitted with an Armani shroud...
...people recently snaked down the block leading to the local Moose lodge in the ranching town of Livingston, about 80 miles north of Yellowstone. Farmers, local ranchers and teenagers were answering a casting call for parts in a movie about fly-fishing, soon to be shot by Robert Redford. The film is sure to entice even more visitors to the state's trout streams, leaving locals even more irked than they already are at the vacation styles of the rich and famous...
