Screenplay: Phil Alden Robinson, Lawrence Lasker, Walter F. Parkes Sneakers is a clever, much overlooked comic thriller that shows how entertaining such films can be if done with intelligence and a commitment to its characters.

Ditto the irrelevant romance for Bishop in the person of a wan Mary McDonnell.
