'As American as apple pie'; 'There is no conspiracy. Just twelve people dead.' The centrepiece of Pakula's great seventies paranoid conspiracy thriller trilogy, bookended by the equally fine Klute (1971) and All the President's Men (1977). Chilling and prescient, both reflecting on assassinations of the recent past and anticipating the current societal unease and distrust of faceless mega-corporations and government surveillance of its citizens.
