What critics compared The Company You Keep to
For instance, I'd love to know more about what it's like to live underground, although "Running on Empty" already did that pretty well.
It’s “The Fugitive” meets “Running on Empty” meets “Absence of Malice.”
So far, so very “Running on Empty,” the 1988 movie about a fugitive family of radicals.
The story, such as it is, mirrors (in a way) Sidney Lumet’s “Running on Empty,” a 1988 film that seemed to muddle its politics in a story of teen romance.
It was Sidney Lumet’s similarly-themed 1988 film that was called “Running on Empty,” but it’s Redford’s that superior picture’s title actually reflects.
Having worked before in "The Company You Keep," the two veteran performers are able to make this more than bearable and at times enjoyable.
But first-time feature director Fede Alvarez shakes off any stage fright with a killer “ Evil Dead ” remake (sans “The”) that cuts to the original’s bone.
