Viewing Notes

It has a promising setup: arab oil and international business shenanigans that could bring down the US dollar.  But the details of the financial conspiracy are hard to understand, and the whole thing is bogged down by a dumb romantic plotline. 

Pakula made some great films in the 1970’s, but this was a big disappointment.

A side note: Kris Kristofferson just looks odd without his beard.
