Viewing Notes
Been jonesing for political thrillers lately (maybe due to the current state of government??) and found this one on Prime that looked interesting. Definitely checks the boxes of the seventies cynicism and shadow operatives. Its strength is having Hackman as the jaded Vietnam Vet at the center but they really cram maybe a few too many plot machinations into this story. Still entertaining to watch Hackman run and react thru this twisted maze.
