So, welcome to pretty much the only non-Mafia thread in this subforum.
The rules are simple. Describe the last movie you saw in such a way that nobody can guess what movie it actually is. The only restriction is that it has to actually describe the movie (i.e., don't say "alien invasion" for Titanic). You are allowed to give two hints about the movie, other than the description.
An example:
I just saw a movie about a guy who helps his wife discover her kinky side, leading to a chain of events in which they grow closer together and even work together. Hints: Its a James Cameron movie, and was made in the 90s.
The answer, of course, is True Lies.
Now for the real thing:
I saw a movie about a group of athletes who, against all odds, win in a contest of ability against their cousins for ownership of a priceless family heirloom. Hints: It's from 2006, and has an appearance by Willie Nelson.

Although why there was no mention of ping-pong paddles is beyond me  After evading capture and assassination attempts by both the CIA as well as a crooked Russian oil tycoon, a superspy comes out of hiding to thwart an updated version of the program that made him what he is and re-discover his own identity. |

I handed it to you by mentioning 06 and Willie Nelson, didn't I? Can you give me any hints? |

Yup, Willie Nelson was the giveaway Said superspy lost his girlfriend in a previous film and has a penchant for amnesia. |

I haven't seen the Bourne series, so I'm not sure, but your guess sounds better than any I can come up with. |

The Bourne one sounds right to me. Couldn't remember which particular suffix, off-hand, but seems right.
(I've recently mentioned what the last film I've seen is, elsewhere, so I'm going to pick and choose something else to watch and then try to obfuscate, for when I might get a turn to pose the poser.)

A man's difficult battle with cancer strains his relationship with his adoptive daughter. Meanwhile, the company for which he works is threatened with closure and he teams up with an old colleague to try to save it. Tempers run high and conflict follows.

I'm thinking The Bourne Supremacy? I don't recall the big bads in The Bourne Ultimatum being Russian, weren't they CIA? Hirsch and Vogel (or something like that - whatever his name is) |

No, that's not it. I know what film you're talking about. I think it's with Tom Hanks. |
