Must I sit for two hours straight to find out almost nothing happens?
That's what I endured when I saw The Conversation while dying for an ending. They should've re-titled it as
The Sloppy Private Operator Who Can't Manage Himself Properly. The plot is about nothing which revolves
around a simple conversation that may or may not lead to something sinister only that I stopped caring midway.
Gene Hackman plays the most boring introvert ever. It's depressing enough that I don't care to fathom his reasons to tear
his apartment apart at the end. Perhaps he finally realized that his life sucked.
All in all, The Conversation is overrated.
