Plot
A graduate student and runner in New York is drawn into a conspiracy involving a former Nazi dentist.
Sinekatalog’s take
John Schlesinger's paranoid thriller is famous for its dentist scene and Laurence Olivier's chilling ex-Nazi. Hoffman is excellent, and the film's tense, sweaty New York energy still grips.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
