Don’t Be Crazy

We go all the way back to the 70's with the ph so handsome Robert Reford as he explores the corruption within the CIA. The 1975 spy thriller Three Days of the Condor has all the normal beats of an espionage film, yet there is so much more. At the same time, this movie misses the mark on some pretty important stuff.
