Three Days of the Condor - 6 stars out of 10

Three Days of the Condor - 6 stars out of 10

Robert Redford teams up with Faye Dunaway in this slow-moving story of intrigue.  Although I enjoyed the chemistry between the two, this love interest often appears to be a means of extending the film's running length.  This conspiracy story starts off with a bang (literally and figuratively) but it's pacing continually slows, occasionally interrupted with an action sequence.  Although the film contains several excellent scenes (like Dunaway's emotional phone conversation or Redford's fight with the mailman), everything else moves a bit too slow for my taste.
