Sydney Pollack
Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
The Interpreter (2005)
A second-rate morality play, with red herrings and MacGuffins shoring up a tower of Babel. Do yourself a favor and rent
Death and the Maiden
instead.
Bobby Deerfield (1977)
A resonant Pacino...though ultimately a misfire, suggests that there are worse things to call a movie than 'a curiosity.'
Michael Clayton (2007)
A straight-ahead suspense melodrama, complete with villain and a climax with satisfyingly clean lines. But Gilroy constantly elevates the material with surprise gifts.
Made of Honor (2008)
Not much distinguishes this determinedly average Hollywood outing, but it can claim Sydney Pollack's final performance and Patrick Dempsey's first big-screen starring role since his career second-wind...
Three Days of the Condor (1975)
Pollack excels by establishing an interesting situation, sustaining it, and—in keeping with the paranoid-thriller genre—resolving it on a pleasingly ambiguous note.
