Plot
A post-Watergate thriller about political assassinations, in which the hero joins the Parallax Corporation, whose secret business is domestic terrorism.
Sinekatalog’s take
Alan J. Pakula's paranoid 1970s thriller sends a reporter into a murderous conspiracy. Cold and stylish, with a chilling indoctrination sequence, it captures post-Watergate distrust brilliantly.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
