A (Great).
A surveillance expert worries he might be involved in something dangerous. It's a character study taking place next door to a thriller. The concept shouldn't work, but it does, with too-slow sections giving way suddenly to intense moments.

Harry Caul, un detective de reconocido prestigio como especialista en vigilancia y sistemas de seguridad, es contratado por un magnate para investigar a su joven esposa, que mantiene una relación con uno de sus empleados. La misión, para un experto de su categoría, resulta a primera vista inexplicable, ya que la pareja no ofrece ningún interés alguno. Sin embargo, cuando Harry da por finalizado su trabajo, advierte que algo extraño se oculta tras la banalidad del caso, ya que su cliente se niega a identificarse, utilizando siempre intermediarios.
