Mood: Thriller, suspense, conspiracy theories, Nazi criminals
Good aspects: Interesting story. From a technical point, "Marathon Man" was the first feature film using Steadicam with a theatrical release. (It wasn't though the first film to use Steadicam- "Bound for Glory" was the first.)
Worth noticing: Disturbing scenes.
