Review – Three Days of the Condor

The first 45 minutes or so of this production are pretty good. Robert Redford stars as a guy who reads books for the CIA. The office where he works is shot up by hit men one day while he’s out getting lunch. The subsequent guy-on-the-run routine stays entertaining for at least as long as it takes to reveal who’s behind the murders. But then we have to have a love interest (Faye Dunaway), and suddenly the whole thing turns into a Stockholm Syndrome soap opera. Max von Sydow does his best to keep things going as the creepy-killer-in-chief, but to little avail. By all means come in for the start, but don’t feel like you have to stay until the end. Mildly amusing
