Directed by Alan J. Pakula, written by Loren Singer, Lorenzo Semple Jr. and David Giler, produced by Alan J. Pakula.
Average viewer score of 6.8/10 from 387 ratings.
Slow paced but decent political thriller. Not as good as something like The Manchurian Candidate (both versions) or Three Days of the Condor, but engaging enough with a fine performance by Warren Beatty. **3.5/5**
