A tale of intrigue with an unlikely hero, Three Days of the Condor tells the tale of a CIA agent attempting to make sense of a confusing series of events. Joseph Turner returns from lunch to find all of his colleagues murdered, and tries to figure out why.

Starring Robert Redford as Joseph Turner, the casting is actually very good, considering there are only three major characters, Joseph Turner, Kathy Hale, played by Faye Dunaway, and G. Joubert, played by Max von Sydow.

This movie was very slow going, but it was a very good story. The plot moves slowly, like other old movies, but in the end it payed off to follow the plot. The acting was good, the plot was good, the effects were good. The book was also excellent, but do not be fooled, the novel is called Six Days of the Condor.
