Review of Three Days of the Condor (1975) by Bill T — 05 Jan 2008
This was a pretty good 1970's film that sort of hooked me at the start but sort of lost me in the end. Robert Redford stars as a 'reader' for the C.I.A. On a convenient lunch break, all his office mates are gunned down, and fearing for his life, he calls in to the C.
I.A. only to find out the hard way that the C.I.A. don't really want him alive either, so now he's running from two different factions, and soon, don't ask, he gets Faye Dunaway mixed up in all of this too.
In all honesty, this was just okay, I just felt this got bogged down somewhat.. More talk less action, that really could have made this film a lot better. Redford is his 70's smoking hot best, and Von Sydow is nice as his counter-foil.
All in all, not a 1970's defining film, but good for a view.
