blancastarolivera Great actors and director. One of the most sexy scenes in film history, and without explicit images needed, Redford and Dunaway. That is Greatness. Fun to watch Max Von Sydow as well. BEAUTIFUL, MAGNIFICENT movie.

Andy Howlett It's not often I go above 8 in my scores, but for Three Days of the Condor I'll do it. We've watched this film four times now and it gets better each time. I'm not sure what genre this film fits into - thriller, conspiracy, espionage (probably 70's paranoia) - but it's a fine effort. It's a slow-burner, sets several red-herrings early on and leaves the viewer to make his own way, working out what could be going on rather than being propelled onward by intrusive re-caps and fancy effects. The tension starts early on in the office where Turner finds his colleagues murdered and it never really lets up. As well as a fine performance by Redford, Max von Sydow puts in a chillingly quiet turn as the well-mannered killer. A superb film for discerning viewers, and it has that 'seventies vibe', one of the reasons I watch these films.

Alex-352 A timeless and nearly perfect, trenchantly suspenseful gem. Shy of a masterpiece only due to points subtracted for minor period-associated chintz, as well as a slightly ambiguous, minimally confusing story line.Although it is a certifiable CIA spy thriller, complete with uniquely choreographed and unforgettable action sequences, the film is seasoned-- thankfully with just the right amount-- of a smartly interwoven romance between Redford and Dunaway.The pair are an inexplicably perfect match not only for each other, but also for the manner in which they romantically connect, and in so doing define and tastefully season via their elegantly directed partnership.They share a rare and magical cinematic chemistry, and are able to evoke an intensely personal and poignant connection, with The City of New York as if a character in its own right, as Owen Roizman's dreamlike cinematography provides an ethereal backdrop to Sydney Pollack's well-suited, complementary directing.

Kareneo I would under normal circumstances give this movie 8 - 9 out of 10 if it weren't for the horrible out-dated (albeit 'soft-porn-ish') violence against Faye Dunaway's character. It shows how far we've come that we no longer view the kidnapping of a woman in a film by the primary protagonist as a 'sexy' opportunity. EWWW! I'm really surprised that the 70s weren't more enlightened than this. Also quite surprised by Robert Redford agreeing to play such a creepy misogynist. It really spoils what would have been a near-perfect political thriller.
