Summary: This is my perennial favorite
Comment: Condor is one of my all time favorite movies. I try to watch it at least once a year--always on a rainy Sunday afternoon in November (to really get into the Condor setting, I suppose). I have watched this movie at least twenty times throughout the years, and think I fully understood it for the first time in the last viewing. There are so many nuances of the film that one needs to watch it several times to fully appreciate the film.

Summary: Fun thriller with an impressive supporting cast
Comment: Joseph Turner (Robert Redford once again as the all-American) gets to read for a living, analyzing texts for the CIA through the cover of the "American Literary Historical Society." When it's his turn to go out for everybody's lunch, he comes back to find them all dead.
From then on, Turner (code name "Condor") is on the run -- from the killers and from the government -- with only photographer Kathy (striking Faye Dunaway) his only, albeit reluctant, ally.
Setting Three Days of the Condor during the Christmas season does little to bring tidings of comfort and joy. But the script by Lorenzo Semple, Jr. (The Parallax View) and David Rayfiel -- and the direction of Sydney Pollack (his fourth of seven collaborations with Redford) -- deliver the right amounts of post-Watergate paranoia and intrigue.
As an enigmatic professional killer, Max von Sydow heads an impressive supporting cast that also features Cliff Robertson and John Houseman. (Keep an eye out for von Sydow's code name. It is a nice little in-joke connected to his appearance in The Exorcist.) The result in a fun thriller that, while very tied to its period, also reminds us that the priorities of the government have been the same for a long time.

Summary: Great movie
Comment: This is a great movie. I had it on VHS, but wanted to have it on DVD. Robert Redford is great in it, but he is great in most every movie. Enjoy

Summary: My favorite movie by Robert Redford
Comment: Very interesting story. Superb jazz music score, and an intriguing series of events leading to an unpredictable ending. As close to edge-of-your-seat as you can get with a movie. Well acted and directed. Superb production. Perhaps the best movie ever done by Robert Redford. Faye Dunaway added immeasurably to this performance.
I strongly recommend purchase of this movie. No Robert Redford collection is complete - or should even be started, without Three Days of the Condor.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great thriller, OK DVD
Comment: Sorry- are we reviewing the film or the DVD of the film? Unarguably a classic- the dvd I have is sad with nary a bonus feature. This movie could use a DVD do-over to take advantage of its continued popularity.
