Robert Redford and Sydney Pollack continued their longtime collaboration (the actor and director have worked together on Jeremiah Johnson, The Way We Were, The Electric Horseman, and Out of Africa, among other films) with this taut spy drama. 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

Three Days of the Condor

Received one installment from the pen of the
Late, Great SYDNEY POLLACK . . . I've promised
myself a copy --- for years . . .

UNCOMMON suspense and skill . . .

Better than Blockbuster

This 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.

Just as timely as ever

I first saw this movie back in college. Thought it was entertaining but
no real social relevence. I was wrong. This movie speaks of the Now. Would the U.S. actually invade another country to aquire Oil? Would we use another excuse like WMD, Terrorists, Liberating a middle eastern country? Send 4000 members and counting to thier death becaus of Oil
I think the answer is YES

Spy stories

There 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.

ANOTHER DAY AT THE OFFICE

A movie that violates my cardinal rule as an amateur rewiewer: one should only have to see a film once for it to be comprehensible. I viewed Condor for the third time tonight, and I'm not sure that I've gotten it right yet. There is absolutely no need of acting talent like Redford, Dunaway, Robertson,and Houseman playing second fiddle to an inferior, confusing script. For the modern set, just imagine Kate Winslet, George Clooney, and Matt Damon suddenly showing up as operators 12, 14, and 15 in a remake of The Three Stooges'"Uncivil Warriors". The photography is vintage 1970's New York, and the lack of a musical score actually heightens the reality and suspense of the production. This is definitely not "My Fair Lady". Another point: Where are the police? 7 people dead and only one reported so by one cop? A prolonged sexual exchange between 2 people who seconds before were afraid of murdering each other? This is reality? Anyway, I'm really sorry to go against the grain here. I just can't read the green!
