Synopsis: Simple book analyst in a branch of the CIA, Joseph Turner (Redford) sees all his team murdered before he barely escapes and now hides with Kathy Hale (Dunaway) while trying to reveal the rotten secrets within the organization.
Review: This movie fits into a Genre and a period I like but I had never seen it. I liked the music and the slow introduction of the characters like it is often the case in that period, and the fact that a simple guy has to evolve to become a true spy. The film-making by Sydney Pollack is  impeccable, and the actors Robert Redford and Max Von Sydow carry the movie on their shoulders. But then some events are a bit far-fetched, in particular the kidnapping of the character played by Faye Dunaway and the lengthy discussions, trust games and eventually the Romance that follows. Too bad for a movie that is otherwise a good spy-Polar.
Rating: 5 /10
