Things I noticed watching this again:
1) Genevieve Bujold is le mucho cool.
2) It’s basically Green For Danger ripped-off and re-framed for the Watergate era.
3) Michael Crichton is actually a better director than novelist.
4) Holy shit, that’s a really young Tom Selleck.
5) Half-way through, the film briefly turns into an advertisement for the Massachusetts Tourist Board, as Bujold and Michael Douglas walk the sandy beaches, stroll in quaint fishing villages, drink ice tea in a charming bistro above a sun-dappled bay, and drive in the green and sunny countryside.
6) Holy shit, that’s an even younger Ed Harris, with hair.
7) Michael Douglas was once almost cool.
8 ) Modernist architecture is very creepy, and this film knows it.
9) You can tell something evil is going on in that creepy modernist building, because the music says so. Don’t let the green and sunny Massachusetts countryside fool you.
10) The expression on Richard Widmark’s face at the end is priceless.
