We're the last of a dying breed jdbmjf, I thought this movie kicked the *beep* out of the book - the only movie i can think of that i liked more than the book.

People who say Sam Peckinpah lost it on this movie... don't know what they're on about.

Absolutely loved this film when I was younger. It would show up on late night TV a lot back in the early 90's. It definitely has flaws when you break it down and look at its individual parts, but this is a perfect example of the whole being better than its parts as it really was a great film and came out before the 80's action film fest had really gotten into full swing. I honestly couldn't care less what others think about it. The Osterman Weekend remains one of my favorite films from those early 80's years.

Still Shooting With Film!

Not by a long shot. Not the greatest thriller of 1983 even, or probably for the week it was released.

No.

Plus......by far the worst of Ludlum's books. I'm a huge RL fan, and whn i bought/read this I was disgusted. The movie was every bit as bad. A solid 2 or 3.

While "good cast, nudity, explosions" is a persuasive argument, I have to say that I much prefer 3 Days of the Condor.

Underrated Peckinpah, but no. Nowhere close.
