“He’d kill us if he got the chance.” Rarely has the meaning and reading of a sentence meant so much to a movie as it does here in this Francis Ford Coppola classic, made between Godfather films, about the swirling, spiraling paranoia of a sound bugger tasked with a no-questions-asked job and it’s potential dangerous repercussions. Ritualistic and precise, with European pacing and mood, and one of the great Gene Hackman performances of the 70’s.
