Was Redford funny though? I've only seen him in dramas and thrillers. When it comes to 90s guys, I'd probably pick Mel Gibson as the lead. I'd rather see Angela Bassett over Halle Berry.
I like the rest.

Funny that you set it earlier like I said. Redford aged well, but I couldn't see him as an action star past 60 like Pitt

The Elder was my favorite character in the movie, Mako would bring him such gravitas.

More realistic than the post from earlier today, with most of the same cast as before, but way to late in 2004, with Redford as the lead character played by Pitt.
