What critics compared Rollover to
In any event, it certainly DOES succeed in being more “exciting,” say, than 1981’s “Rollover.”
There's a "wrong man" angle, as seen in The Parallax View ; a sordid sexual history leading to current woes, as in Klute ; a fixation on the details of procedure, in the vein of Rollover and All the President's Men (though here the process is law, not finance or journalism); and there's a lot of energy spent looking at the protagonist's marital state, which is true in some way of about half of Pakula's films.
