Humphrey G @humphreyg Aug 22, 2026 The chemistry between Matthau and Jackson (helped by a superb script) is delightful, as is the wonderfully over- the-top performance by Ned Beatty as the bumbling CIA boss. All held together by Matthau at his absolute sardonic best.

But Matthau and Co played their roles well and elevated this to a pretty watchable popcorn flick.

People who have never worked for the Federal government will not believe the upper management character, but it's pretty accurate IMO. See more May 23, 2021 The sum of implausible scenarios and humor that sometimes misfires makes this a disappointing viewing. Matthau and Jackson, though, are, as always, fun to watch. See more Jul 20, 2020 One of those films that may not be as good as you remembered it, Hopscotch finds Walter Matthau covering a lot of the same ground he did in Charley Varrick, but without the violence or thrills. While his character also spends most of this film outsmarting pursuers and ultimately faking his own death, the grittiness with which Don Siegel infused Varrick has been traded for light comedy and bloodless intrigue by veteran director Ronald Neame. Perhaps too well mannered for its own good, Hopscotch imagines a world populated by gentle, cultured, middle-aged spies that prefer Mozart to gunplay, where CIA agents are stymied by growling dogs, and the KGB willingly hands over sensitive information in the name of good sportsmanship.
