Three Days of the Condor Customer Reviews (43 - 44 of 44 Reviews)

A movie that stands the test of time
I saw this movie when it first came out so cannot review the quality of the DVD transfer (yet). I highly recommend the film, despite its flaws (such as the one-dimensional "girl" role that Faye Dunaway's acting nonetheless managed to imbue with more than the script contained). The times have changed but the message and quality of the film are timeless, and it is well worth seeing.

I do want to suggest that anyone who has not yet seen the film read the review "Why? More to the point, why me?" -- BUT ONLY AFTER SEEING THE MOVIE. It is a very intelligenct and interesting review, but it gives away a crucial plot point that will lose its impact on first-time viewers if read beforehand.

(Please, reviewers--remember the guidelines say not to give away important plot points, something that too many reviews in the press and media do nowadays. Ruins a good movie for those who haven't yet seen it.)

A Quiet, Intelligent Movie
Like Klute, this is one of those thinking man's movies that works because of the actors. Little violence, much drama. Robert Redford is believable here as a bookish CIA type, and Faye Dunaway is excellent as a beautiful woman we all see on the streets, but hiding behind large clothes and hats.
I liked this movie a lot.
