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

- After a remarkable tension build-up, it too light an ending
***** Contains spoiler ******
It's a work which has both very good and mediocre qualities. The build-up of the plot is just smashing. With well-paced action and competent acting, it's a remarkable work to watch.
Problem first erupts little when Redford kidnaps the lady. It is very difficult to believe that a lady would like to be part of the deadly problem Redford is in for just one night charm, no matter how lonely she is.
But the script does not do justice to itself when it converts ... Read More

- A Classic Thriller and One of Redford's Best
This is my favorite 70's film. It has a superb script, great acting, and is tautly edited. When viewed today, it does not come across as a period piece, but as a good story well told. Three days of the Condor is one of those rare movies that do the book justice. (By the way, if you like the film, try the novel Six Days of the Condor. You get three more days.)
This is a timeless movie with great production values and all serious film collectors should have Three Days of the Condor in their home ... Read More

- The Spirit of November
When THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR was released in the mid-70s it was almost certain to be a hit because its two stars, Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway, were about the biggest two male and female marquee names in the country. The opening scenario, where Redford returns from his lunch hour to see all of the staff in his Manhattan office (which at first glance seems to be a literary society) gunned down was considered quite sensational in its time and generated quite a lot of word of mouth.
The director, ... Read More
