I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

A fine mystery movie it is. "Klute" is a movie to be reckoned with. John Klute (Donald Sutherland) is a detective looking for a friend who disappeared without a trace. He would travel to New York where he meets a high-end call girl named Bree Daniels (Jane Fonda). She deals with every sorts of clientele. When she and Klute gets together, she gets a weird feeling that she can't understand. This prostitute has been a lot: Jaded, stalked,beaten up, questioned by police, etc. Being in the world she knows well, Daniels is put in an upside-down world. I remember the part where Klute questions her, she unzipped her dress and he asked, "Do you mind not doing that?" That night, when Bree couldn't sleep, she goes by Klute's place and sleep over. The movie has a lot of twists and turns to it. Plenty of star power, a lot of raw energy as well. It's a mystery for adults. And there are lots of surprises to come with. It is a gem for mature audiences. 4.5 out of 5 stars

Tracking down a man who mysteriously vanished, a private detective encounters a call girl frightened by threatening phone calls that may be linked to the disappearance in this stylish if convoluted Alan J. Pakula thriller. A master of suspense and paranoia, Pakula films the material well, favouring dark lighting and mobile camera-work. An especially memorable bit has the camera ever-so-slowly zoom out while our heroine stares into the black of night with her phone ringing ominously on the table beside her. Effectively filmed as 'Klute' may be, the screenplay pulls in too many directions at once and a second viewing does little to help. Initially, the film is about the search for the missing man, but then it turns into a character study of Jane Fonda's call girl who is unsure why she loves prostitution, then it becomes a romance, despite little chemistry between Donald Sutherland and Fonda, then it becomes character study and missing person mystery thriller again. A second viewing does, however, reveal more depth to Fonda's performance; her confession scenes, rationalising that prostitution is "an act" that makes her feel like she has "some control" are excellent, if infrequent and interspersed with moments in which she simply has to look scared. The photography by Gordon Willis and atmospheric music, courtesy of Michael Small, are superb too and provide the movie with an unshakable sense of dread. This is not a film to watch for its story. It is, however, a film to watch for its portrait of characters caught up in a frightening world that they cannot, for all their efforts, really control.

I was never really all that big of a Jane Fonda fan, still if you are to see any movie of her's watch this 1971 picture called "Klute" as Jane glows and shines on screen in a best actress Oscar winning role. "Klute" is a tease film of suspense and mystery drama with themes of sex, lust, truth seeking and murder all of that is jammed into a plot that's a little hard to follow it can challenge a viewer so pay attention.Set in New York city the story centers around Bree(in one of Jane Fonda's best roles) who's a high class escort a call girl type who's life is full of secrets and it's ready to spin out of control, still Bree has wit and she's one sexy thing she's good at her job as her sessions with guys are like that of a socialite girlfriend type and to go with it she's blunt and outspoken with a sassy mouth. Her voice has been taped by a killer, so Bree had better watch out! Now enter detective John Klute(Donald Sutherland)who's hired as a private investigator to follow this case that involves a missing person and the murders of others. And along the way sparks of passion fly between him and Bree. You will be left asking questions who done it and wonder really what's going on as the film takes twist and turns. Overall really good picture of suspense, lust, and mystery that's carried by the performance of Jane Fonda.

I didn't enjoy this movie as much as I thought I would. Filled with brilliant performances that papers over the slow plodding pace of the movie.Plot In A Paragraph: Following the disappearance of Pennsylvania executive Tom Gruneman. The police reveal that an obscene letter was found in Gruneman's office, addressed to a prostitute in New York City named Bree Daniels (Fonda), who had received several similar letters from him. After six months of police work turns up nothing, Peter Cable (Charles Cioffi), an executive at Gruneman's company, hires family friend and detective John Klute (Donald Sutherland) to investigate Gruneman's disappearance.Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland are both excellent here, although for this reviewer it was Roy Scheider as Pimp Frank Ligourin who stood out. I also spotted Teri Garr in an uncredited role as Fonda's Psychiatrist's Receptionist. Sylvester Stallone is also Sylvester Stallone is also uncredited as a Discothèque Patron.
