What Took Me So Long: The title scared me. It reminded me too much of My Dinner with Andre.
Why I Saw It: for years, this was that other movie that Francis Ford Coppala was nominated for in 1974. I honestly had no idea what this would be. It's really interesting to watch this with a modern perspective because all the surveillance technology is so...analog. The twist at the end is pretty great. I'm a sucker for a scene that can be changed dramatically from a different perspective. This is probably my second favorite thing I've seen Gene Hackman in too (Hint: My favorite is either Hoosiers or Heartbreakers. Guess which).
Why I Wish I Hadn't: It is a little slow, I guess. Not enough to complain about. It's impossible for me to not think about it with The Godfather Part II, which is a tough comparison, so that hurts my opinion of it.
Verdict (?): Strongly Recommend
