โI donโt interest myself in why. I think more often in terms of when, sometimes where; always how much.โ
That line comes from Three Days of the Condor (1975) โ the quote that first drew me to the film after hearing it referenced in Mr. Robot.
Itโs a fantastic watch: a sharp, tightly written spy thriller with strong pacing and compelling performances. The acting feels theatrical โ not in the over-the-top sense, but in that classic, stage-like way where dialogue, tone, and delivery are deliberate and expressive.
You donโt see that style much beyond the 1970s. Modern performances tend to lean toward realism, which I also appreciate. (I find actors like Matthew McConaughey and Robert De Niro as great representatives of this more realistic style.)
If that kind of performance resonates with you, Iโd give Three Days of the Condor a solid 8/10. Definitely worth your time.
