Gene Hackman at his best

Some think this movie is too slow. It is slow--deliciously, painstakingly slow. That's the mood of the movie, and Coppola sustains it masterfully. The movie revolves around technology and surveillance, methodical, repetitive and often tedious. But is much more than that. It's a provocative look at an unsettled period of time in America, and a man who's trying to find his way through it and failing. Gene Hackman shines in his best role.
