Thankyou, everyone!
Indeed Day of the Jackal is an excellent example, and I can't believe I forgot about The Parallax View (along with All The President's Men, and to a lesser extent Klute). I have yet to see The Package, but it is now very definitely on the list.
Another two that occurred to me were the Costa-Gavras film Z and Peter Watkins' Punishment Park, although the latter is again more hypothetical.
One final example that I found brought to mind the kind of trauma-based mind control that Walter Bowart discussed -though perhaps I'm reading it incorrectly- is the film Dogtooth by Giorgios Lanthimos, if anyone had any thoughts on that I'd be glad to have a second opinion.
Thankyou again to all,
Namaste
