Marathon Man

I thought this flick was going to be more intense than it actually was.  I imagine that in 1976 before the age of torture porn that the interrogation scene would have been terrifying, yet I feel that watching this movie for the first time in 2012 I was not able to fully appreciate the suspense and thrill that is a major basis of this film.  There was one fabulous moment in the movie that I cannot comment on more specifically without being a spoiler, but suffice it to say that even if you see it coming it is pretty awesome.  A little guy caught up in a big conspiracy, Dustin Hoffman was great as the "right guy in the wrong place" sort of character, and Laurence Olivier (nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar) was eerily perfect as the evil torturing Nazi-dentist-diamond-smuggler (quite the character description haha).
