This was better than I expected. The direction was great.
>>217041289My absolute favorite film genre, government paranoia.You should also watch the other similar films by Pakula:KluteAll The President's Men.Also John Frankenheimer also made some truly great films in this genre: The Manchurian Candidate (1962)Seven days in May (1964)Seconds (1966)

>>217041575OP here. I'm watching All The President's man today. Already watched the manchurian candidate. I would add Three Days of the Condor to your list.
>>217041575>Seconds (1966)Never head of that before. It looks great.
>>217041743That's my favorite film of all time.Marathon Man is another film that I'd highly recommend.
No Way Out is also another similar one, but nowhere near as good as the other films mentioned in this thread. Still enjoyable regardless.

>>217041575thanks anon
>>21704128910/10 film, up there with The ConversationYou know a film is good when a real paranoid conspiracy participant like Jim Jones gets obsessed with it and forces his congregation to analyze it into the wee hours of the morning
>>217041743Three Days of the Condor would have been so much better without the retarded hamfisted love plotIIRC there's a guy credited as "BIG GUY" in the end credits
>>217041289The direction is too good for how dumb the movie is. They should have gone for something more exciting and less fancy, to not highlight the stupidity of the plot.
