    A movie about sinister forces at work in the CIA with big scenes set at the World Trade Center and in a Ford Bronco? It's like the nexus of all conspiracy theories!

    Not the best conspiracy thriller, but maybe the one with the best final 5 minutes.

    hard to argue with a movie that’s all about robert redford reading his little books and running around nyc, all while wearing beautiful coats!

    67/100 Terrific paranoid thriller saddled with a useless and disturbingly rapey romance. It's not a dealbreaker—everything involving Robertson and Von Sydow is too choice—but every time the movie returns to Dunaway it deflates, and Pollack's proto-Soderberghian flourishes…

    Uncut Gems for Protestants. Really love the scene where Redford stress eats a pretzel. He goes so fast it it could read as a gag, but he makes it real. Acting is so cool

    Released fifty years ago but never gets old for me.  First-class entertainment from top to bottom.  You can pick at a couple of story points, but who wants to be that guy?  Beautifully shot and performed, some real thrills, movie stars doing movie star things.  Even the…

    Three Days of the Condor

    A smart and paranoid spy thriller whose subject matter is as relevant today as it was when the film came out. Redford and Dunaway are both fantastic, with mixed feelings on their “romance”. Took me a couple rewinds in the expository scenes to piece all the story elements together

    Three Days of the Condor

    Paranoid spy thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat! Redford is manic as the titular “Condor” and Von Sydow is menacing as the main antagonist. Hard hitting actions sequences and a compelling mystery at its heart is what makes this film a classic!

    Interesting story with some decent suspense and twists/turns. I had a like/dislike relationship with aspects of the "romance." Faye Dunaway sure was a cutie in here though. Ending is strangely wistful.

    Good conspiracy thriller with a message that is even more relevant today than it was back then. Dunaway gives a great performance.

    I watched the 4k Blu-ray, and it was gorgeous. The film moves, and it keeps you guessing. A classic.

A well-made thriller, tense and involving, and the scary thing, in these months after Watergate, is that it's all too believable.
