Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

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.

dylanb-23290 A real thriller depicting a non-conventional 'hero' who manages to uncover a dark plot though his intelligence rather than his physique and brute strength. Redford lives up to the expectations of a hero as he manages to stay ahead of the game and situation at hand, all through his intellectual power that he accumulated through his CIA career (with respect to the film).Very well presented, and the film kept me hooked up for all the 117 minutes. An interesting plot that builds up nicely and engages the viewer to participate in uncovering the truth when all his dear colleagues have been assassinated.

Leofwine_draca THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR is one of those classic '70s thrillers that's all about paranoia and the mistrust of government entities. It has the same low key and gritty approach as other '70s greats as MARATHON MAN and SERPICO, and yet as a film it's quite unique, depicting the events in a mature, deeply political way that ignores stock action sequences in favour of surprising character twists and the like. Robert Redford is very well cast as a somewhat ignorant CIA agent who survives the brutal opening massacre sequence (an astonishing sequence) only to go on the wrong as assassins and corrupt agents close in. I could have done without the sub-plot involving Faye Dunaway's extraneous character, but I understand the value of its presence in humanising the main characters. The rest is an solid exercise in film-making, subdued and involving, surprising and engaging. Watch out for Max Von Sydow in one of his best roles.

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.
