Marathon Man

"Hoffman, you see, is stuck in the role of a bewildered man-in-the-middle about whom bodies fall like flies; eventually he gets into the swing of things and kills a few on his own."

"Quite effective in its basic set pieces, even if the overall thrust seems a trifle ponderous."

"There are all sorts of unanswered questions when the film's over, but I'm not inclined to hold that against it. I enjoy thrillers for the people and predicaments in them, not for their clockwork plots."

"Cult thriller that continues to resonate with audiences"
