Review of Three Days of the Condor (1975) by Paul P — 22 Nov 2008
Not bad at all, but not as good as I was hoping for.
The storythat underpins this film was way ahead of it's time and that is what kept me watching. Outside of that, Redford was ok. Did I buy into his predicament? Not really. He didn't really come across as someone who was in peril, which is key to the film. Also, I didn't understand the need for Faye Dunaway. Her character was disposable and did not serve any purpose at all. Thankfully, Max Von Sydow was excellent.
Overall, the story is very strong and the ending was nicely judged, but it needed more work to make the peril and the story more effective.
