Plot
A surveillance expert becomes convinced that a recording he made will lead to a murder.
Sinekatalog’s take
Coppola's paranoid thriller follows a surveillance expert, Gene Hackman, haunted by a recording he made. Quiet and chilling, it was released around Watergate and is a study of guilt and listening.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
