The Conversation-6/10
Gene Hackman lead feature about a man running a private surveillance company who's hired to spy on the wife of a top executive. Gets a little too involved in the recordings in trying to crack what the cheating couple is insinuating when they say "he'd kill us if he had the chance". The film breaks away from this plot to highlight Hackman as a paranoid, socially inept loner, which isn't half as interesting as that main plot.
Couldn't really get into. Found it a little boring and I think the focus on the character as opposed to the story is why. It's not even a 2 hour film, and cutting 29 minutes or so of the character driven stuff prob would've made it better for me personally.
