Review of The Anderson Tapes (1971) by Dawdlingpoet — 28 Nov 2021

This is very much a dated film. Its amusing in terms of seeing what I assume cutting edge technology was perceived as, at the time the film was made - there's lots of tapes, cassette tapes and loud beeping noises, esp. at the start of the film. Connery does pretty well in his role and there are some fairly exciting/entertaining moments but it did feel rather dull otherwise. I suppose you could argue that it highlights the surveillance of people without them knowing but with the main character being an ex-con, its hardly as if I feel entirely sorry for him and he's shown to be a bit of a womaniser, which doesn't exactly appeal to me either, shall we say.

Its not an especially memorable film to me but its nostalgic and ok in general I suppose. I wouldn't recommend it as such, no.
