Robert Redford is a bookworm that works for the CIA; his code name is Condor.  While he's out picking up lunch, the rest of his coworkers are gunned down.  For the next 72 hours he tries to both unravel the mystery and keep from getting killed by people obviously on the inside.

This is a fun story based on the book "Six Days of the Condor", apparently that would have made the movie too long.  The action and plot keep the movie flowing nicely and much of it is spent with the very lovely Faye Dunaway on the screen.  I especially liked the ending; it was clever without being unrealistic or predictable. And just look at the names of the actors in this film; very top rank.

The movie is over thirty years old; don’t expect a lot of special effects and try not to laugh too loud when you see the computer systems they had the CIA using (though I do admit it was a nostalgic moment).  I guess I'll have to read the book to figure out what they cut; I would not have had any problems if this movie would have been longer.

• Theatrical Trailer

This is a fun action/drams/suspense film with very good actors and script.  If you can get past the fact that it's 30 years old and things have changed since then, you will enjoy this film. This disc will be added to my "watch again" list.
