It's not an espionage movie unless the lead character gets to have sex.
Joseph Turner (Robert Redford) is a book reader for the CIA. He and his office of coworkers spend their days pouring over foreign and domestic writings to find hidden codes/agendas. His entire team gets killed by a few trained assassins while he was literally out for lunch. After that it's all spy business: cloak and dagger, run and shoot, with a brief stop to pick up a vixen/aide. Did I say vixen? I meant a professional woman that was wooed by the seductive agent that was Condor.
That's the mark of a good spy. Even though Joseph aka Condor is not really a spy he's playing a spy game and from my spy movie experience spies have to be able to bed a girl or two; even in the midst of being on the run.
It was an intricate well written movie. In general, I liked it, I just get tired of the spy having sex trope.
