Three Days of the Condor Customer Reviews (19 - 21 of 44 Reviews)

By far , the best thriller of Sidney Pollack !
The incredible plot of this engrossing script will involve you from start to finish . The dark intimate of an Information Agency through the figure of a simple reader - Redford makes he knows too many things he should not be noticed . That will be the essential and dramatic focus for an implacable chase . If you consider this golden cast : Max von Sydow , Faye Dunaway and Clift Robertson you will understand why this film has reached a privileged status at the moment you make the choice of the best bit nail thrillers of the seventies .
The sixth best acting of Mr. Redford after The Candidate , Sundance Kid , The Great Gatsby and The Chase and The Great Waldo Pepper


A fine piece of escapism ... back to the 70's
An archetypal 70's cerebral CIA thriller. This slow-paced cinematic effort from Sydney Pollack is mostly gripping, but marred by two plot holes. The first is the seeming inability of the CIA to compare the two bullets in the alley shooting -- and discover that they were fired by two different pistols. Oops; I guess that would have taken the focus of guilt off of Redford's character too early in the story. The second hole is the inexplicable reason why Faye Dunaway's character would so quickly submit to the charm of Redford's character, after being kidnapped. A classic example of internalized oppression in women -- in a world where men get what they want, and women too realize the power structure through their own self-imposed subjugation. Other than that, a fine piece of escapism.

Top Notch CIA Thriller!
Every time I re-watch this movie I feel a little sad and angry at the same time. The reason coming from the many location shots taken in and around the WTC. That aside, if you think about it, this movie is ever so contemporary in its main plot. Kind of makes you wonder what really is going on. Thinking what Director Higgins said at the end of the movie regarding food, oil, etc., "Don't ask people now, ask them then"!
