Plot: 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, ...( read more read more... )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

    It was decent, but could have been much better. I don't get the whole relationship between Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway. It feels like she's only in the story so there's a love interest.

    This movie is almost the North by Northwest of the seventies. It starts out slow, but eventually draws you in if you keep watching. The end is so incredibly realistic to us today that it's not much of a shock, but if they were going for realism, they certainly got it. The acting isn't bad, but I wouldn't watch this movie again.

    A great suspense film from the times when spy movies weren't about blowing helicopters and destroying the world, and one in which you can actually believe the characters.

    not a classic of the 70's, but still good, and somewhat unjustly forgotten. Let's face it, it's better than most thrillers today. I'd give this 4 stars if they'd left out the unnecessary love scene that brings the movie to a screeching halt. Otherwise it's solid. Check it out if you haven't seen it.

    My favourite Robert Redford movie. It had been years since I last watched this. Watching it now it has dated but still remains a classic. No high tech computers or surveillance like the Bourne films or any gadgets like the Bond films. This doesn't need any of that, the story and acting make it great.

    Sydney Pollack is in my opinion, one of the most underrated American directors of our time. He proved with Condor that he could make a thrilling spy film with taste and class and even a touch of artistic flair, as shown in the love/symbolism scene between Redford and Dunaway.

    This was made right in the middle of one of the greatest actor/director collaborations since 1950's film, as Redford and Pollack would go on to make The Electric Horseman and Out of Africa, not to mention Havana, another under appreciated gem.

    only Robert Redford or maybe James Bond could kidnap a girl and sleep with her in the same day. this is a very well made spy thriller that still holds up extremely well, especially in our post-911 world as it did back in 1975 post-Watergate. Redford, Faye Dunaway and Max Von Sydow in a thinking man's thriller directed by Sydney Pollack, that alone should make you want to see it.

    I really liked this period for Redford (Butch Cassidy & Sundance Kid, All the President's Men, etc.). While this is not the best of the lot, it's still very watchable. Redford is always pretty convincing. Max Von Sydow puts in a nice turn.

    A really well done conspiracy film. It's nice to see a little of the playfulness Dunaway had in The Thomas Crown Affair.

    Sydney Pollack's smartest and most complicated crime films. A rare modern masterpiece full of suspense and brilliance.

    Sydney Pollacks classic paranoid flick that is still clasic and up to date to this moment. One of Robert Redford's greatest performances, Max Von Sydow gives one of his great roles as the profession killer, and one of the great villians in film history. The movie has a "down on the street" feel as it engages international deception, as said, timely to this very moment

    This and The Parallax View are two of the best of the '70s' conspiracy-paranoia films. One of my favorite Redford performances. Cliff Robertson and Max von Sydow are excellent. All English majors should see this so they can be made aware of jobs they can pursue with their degrees : )

    As far as thrillers go... not a bad one. I was still a bit confused at the end about what's going on, but so what else is new? I'm always confused. I was kept consistently interested all the way through, and-- hey! Another plus! The music's by Dave Grusin, who I have recently come to recognize as a marvelous musical genius who wrote some wonderfully awesome stuff.
