Three Days of the Condor

Three Days of the Condor
A mild mannered CIA researcher, paid to read books, returns from lunch to find all of his co-workers assassinated. "Condor" must find out who did this and get in from the cold before the hitmen get him.

Not enough focus is placed on the espionage elements of this spy thriller, eschewed instead for a pointless Helsinki syndrome love story. A high point for me was the surprisingly realistic depiction of landline phone phreaking, with this being one of the only films I've seen even attempting such a thing. Still, if you're looking for a Robert Redford spy thriller, Sneakers is a much more entertaining choice.
