(Robert Redford being chased by a bunch of people who want to kill him - not fuck him. What a novel concept…)
CAST: Robert Redford, Faye Dunaway, Max Von Sydow, Cliff Robertson.
DIRECTOR: Sydney Pollack
FAVORITE OF: Family
IN A NUTSHELL: CIA analyst Joe Turner (Robert Redford) gets the short end of the stick one day at work and has to run out and get lunch for everyone. When he gets back, he finds out all of his co-workers have been wiped out by assassins - and he survived because he went out the back door to the corner deli. Guess that stick wasn’t so short after all, eh? Anyhow, Joe goes on the run with an innocent chick he takes hostage (Faye Dunaway), trying to stay ahead of the assassins while figuring out why they want him (and his friends) dead. Will he find out in time? Will Kathy (his hostage) come over to his side? Or is she just humoring him until she can make a break for it? Personally, a guy who looks like Robert Redford can’t take me hostage any day of the week. No complaints, here.
WHY SHE LOVES THIS MOVIE: Robert Redford. Can’t say I blame her. This guy just oozes sex. And the movie’s pretty kick-ass, too. Faye Dunaway also makes a good, sarcastic foil for Redford‘s twitchy hero. Max Von Sydow is the best thing in the flick, though, as the compassionate assassin. How’s that for a contradiction in terms? See this flick to find out what I mean.
