Alan Pakula assembles just the right cast for his remarkable paranoia political-financial thriller with an equal supply of tension, intrigue, high drama, romance, uncomfortable home truths and baffling details of the money markets. Widowed heiress Jane Fonda and banker Kris Krisofferson get embroiled in one kind of 'rollover' as the Arabs plot to withdraw their finances from American banks rather than letting it do the other kind of 'rollover', causing a total stock market meltdown. Pakula reaches into his top paranoia drawer - the one he took All the President's Men and The Parallax View from - and delivers another nifty movie, packed with classy, thought-provoking entertainment. If you want to take it seriously, the movie can be viewed as an attack on capitalism. Or if you feel messages are for the Post Office, just sit back and feel the quality of the acting and enjoy the intricacies of a most unusual yarn.
