Redford plays a reader for U.S. intelligence who becomes a hunted man after he is not among the victims of a mass murder of his colleagues. Faye Dunaway does solid work as the frightened and mystified woman whom he forces to conceal him, and Max von Sydow is appropriately cool as a professional assassin. That same, sustained tone of danger and expectation that made Pollack's The Firm so much fun can be found in this 1975 thriller, albeit with an appropriate dose of post-Watergate paranoia. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - good movie but....slightly dated as spy thrillers go. good movie, but copy has bad spot. effectd area is not crucial to plot but is annoying. i have seen this bad spot on another copy. so i think this was a transfer problem. Rating:  - The Spirit of NovemberWhen THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR was released in the mid-70s it was almost certain to be a hit because its two stars, Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway, were about the biggest two male and female marquee names in the country. The opening scenario, where Redford returns from his lunch hour to see all of the staff in his Manhattan office (which at first glance seems to be a literary society) gunned down was considered quite sensational in its time and generated quite a lot of word of mouth. Read More Rating:  - Three Days of the CondorReceived one installment from the pen of the Late, Great SYDNEY POLLACK . . . I've promised myself a copy --- for years . . . UNCOMMON suspense and skill . . . Rating: - Better than BlockbusterThis is the second time I've simply purchased a DVD that's 'out of circulation' or not carried by any rentals like Blockbuster. Lord only knows why reruns of TV shows are easy to get but actual movies are not. Oh well, anyway it came on time, was undamaged and operated fine. Kudos. Rating:  - Spy storiesThere is a trend to portray American intelligence agencies as vile and evil. This was probably the first, but it is probably the most exciting and interesting. It is a lso a good picture of New York City as it was a quarter of a century ago and how things were when Robert Redford and I were both a lot younger. Even if I disagree, it shows the grounds for disillusionment of my generation. |
