I watched it again this week. My wife and I saw it when it first came out in 75. I think it has aged well.
Still interesting to watch.

The book is Six Days Of The Condor and is also very good.

Great movie. Von Sydow was great choice for the hit man.

"The belief is in your own precision..." Von Sydow's greatest role in my eyes.
I first saw it in 79-80? and have watched it every other year since. Great movie with an all-star cast.
They really don't make them like that any more.
Save the whales. Redeem them for valuable prizes...

One of the best fight scenes of all the movies at that time and most afterward.
I'm pretty sure it was '76 and I saw it my first year of college.

Pretty sure I've seen it....my memory for movies isn't very good, but I better it on my to-watch list just in case.

Great flick. I was working at a multiplex cinema as an usher when it came out. What a well made movie, great cast. Man what a fun job.

Agreed. He was terrific; great performance.

Have you watched the series "Condor" It's brilliant as well, albeit with the ability to suspend disbelief for filming in Toronto and trying to pass that as Virginia

Yes, it is pretty good. My wife and I liked it and watched the first season again recently. I have not watched the second season yet.

Max Irons, William Hurt, Mira Sorvino....can't go wrong. I do like the casting of the assasin...she fits the part perfectly even if not true to the book.
I am trying to watch the series, but too many bad guys. I can't keep up.

"You may be walking. Maybe the first sunny day of the spring. And a car will slow beside you, and a door will open, and someone you know, maybe even trust, will get out of the car. And he will smile, a becoming smile. But he will leave open the door of the car and offer to give you a lift."
Yes, Max stole that movie with the few scenes he was in. You almost have to wonder what if Redford's character had gone to Europe with Joubert.
