I already saw this movie but since it was such a long time ago, I was quite eager to check it out again. Well, I'm glad I gave it a 2nd chance because I was much more able to enjoy it this time around.

Above all, I really enjoyed the first half during which there was a... read more

Marathon Man is an awkward marriage between political/espionage thriller and Nazis-on-the-loose chiller. There are moments of sublime horror and some great acting on display, but the film is ultimately undone by its instance on being more important or better than it actually is. There are large swaths of time in which the film is a bore, and more than a few moments in which the story’s various t... read more

"5.7. Blu-ray Papat ei pärjää liikenteessä, Dustin Hoffman juoksee, Laurence Olivier on vanha natsi ja kukaan muu kuin Hoffman ei ole, mitä sanovat olevansa ja Hoffmaninkin oletetaan olevan jotain muuta. Juutalaiset tykkäävät timanteista ja natsit juutalaisten timanteista. Ei kyllä mitenkään vahvinta kautensa jännäriä. Ilkeän natsin "omien" timanttien nouto pankkiholvista ei ihan tarjoa kilpakumppaniensa veroista pohjaa salaliittoilu- tai paranoiatarinalle. Spoilerina kerrottakoon"
