The Company You Keep

The Company You Keep, as a Drama and Thriller, primarily evokes **Anxiety** and **Anticipation** due to the protagonist, Nick Sloan, being a former militant on the run from the FBI and a persistent reporter. The audience feels constant tension and suspense as he tries to evade capture and clear his name. **Empathy** is also a strong emotion, as viewers connect with Nick's desperate efforts to protect his daughter and understand the complex, perhaps misguided, ideals of his past. This leads to feelings of **Sadness** and **Melancholy** as the film explores the heavy consequences of past actions and the weight of a life lived in hiding.
