Suspense-packed political thriller. Although the target is clearly the Colonels in Greece, the film works today because it might apply to any totalitarian regime. It's talky and simplistic, but well acted and convincing in its paranoia. Director Costa-Gavras went on to make other fine political thrillers including Missing and Music Box, but this is one of his best. It not only won the Oscar for Best Foreign Film, it was even deemed worthy of nomination as Best Film. Francoise Bonnot won an Academy Award for her editing.
