Robert Redford and Sydney Pollack continued their longtime collaboration (the actor and director have worked together on Jeremiah Johnson, The Way We Were, The Electric Horseman, and Out of Africa, among other films) with this taut spy drama. Redford plays a reader for U.S. intelligence who becomes a hunted man after he is not among the victims of a mass murder of his colleagues. Faye Dunaway does solid work as the frightened and mystified woman whom he forces to conceal him, and Max von Sydow is appropriately cool as a professional assassin. That same, sustained tone of danger and expectation that made Pollack's The Firm so much fun can be found in this 1975 thriller, albeit with an appropriate dose of post-Watergate paranoia. --Tom Keogh

- Entertaining...Fun.....But Not Too Intelligent
*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
I really enjoy watching this film. It has first-rate suspense and is definitely entertaining. I have seen it multiple times and will continue to watch it.
Having said that, I have to admit I laugh when I read critics (elsewhere) writing about how "intelligent" this movie is. Intelligent? Yeah, right.
Let's see. A man goes out to lunch and comes back to discover (after walking into an open front door that previously shuts ... Read More
Rating: - Good Movie
Must see classic movie. Don't trust the government, they are here to help only themselves not you.

- GREAT FILM, UNIMPRESIVE POLITICAL VIEWS
Robert Redford made a clunker called "The Way We Were" with Barbra Streisand that desperately tried to explain, apologize for, justify, glorify and approve of being an American Communist during McCarthyism, but just plain fails. He made the 1973 classic "Three Days of the Condor" (1973), with Cliff Robertson and Faye Dunnaway. He plays a CIA reader, a kind of pre-Tom Clancy research guy, a benign fellow among other benign CIA fellows, all of whom are murdered in a fuzzily explained hit by bad CIA fellows. ... Read More
Rating: - This is my perennial favorite
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.
Rating: - Fun thriller with an impressive supporting cast
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.
