A Paranoid Maverick and A Conversation
This is one of those films where you might have to watch the movie more than once to fully get what is going on. Someone suggested to watch this film with the subtitles on to read what you cannot hear on the taped conversation - not a bad idea to me.
Harry Caul (Gene Hackman) a paranoid maverick works in his own private hi-tech surveillance operation and is asked to tape a conversation of two people. The conversation seems innocent enough on the surface but the more the noise is cleaned off the recording, the more clearer the conversation and more information revealed.
Harry Caul is suffering from a guilty conscience involving his own work, is in-love with a woman who he cannot get close too for safety and personal reasons plus he's full of paranoia and fears - he continues his work but it all leads to a shocking ending.
8/10
