I agree but DAY OF THE JACKAL....is an almost perfect 2.5 hour film that seems like a hour. I'm a big Fred Zinnemann fan from High Noon, to From Here to Eternity to JULIA with Jane Fonda. And Vanessa Redgrave's performance as Julia shines in a film filled with great performances. Set in the 1930's, the themes of anti-fascism and friendship, art and theater are blended to perfection. It captures the plight of a writer, Lillian Hellman/Fonda, as she struggles with her first play. We see Hellman walking on the beach and in the background the turbulent ocean waves are churning like the thoughts in her head. The apogee is the fraught scene between Hellman and Julia in a Berlin tavern as Hellman smuggles in cash for anti-Nazi activities, and while Fonda is excellent, Fonda herself said Redgrave's performance was on an entirely elevated level.
A must see movie!

Here is my 4
Parallax view was too unfocused. Too much of a rabbit hole. Not believable enough. All over the place.
@@Daniel-sh3os Combined elements of JFK/RFK. The name Parallax is related to PERMINDEX.
Marathon man!
I love this movie. I actually prefer the opening scenes, especially the banter in the diner.
