Audience Member A strong contender for Worst Film I Have Ever Seen. Creaky script, shocking editing (the wreckage of the baddie's jeep after it crashes over a cliff appears to consist mostly of wheels - I counted at least 7 tyres!), frankly laughable "action" sequences (clearly at double speed), and some of the most wooden acting this side of Sherwood Forest. Amazing how many actors, writers and others of repute and with significant subsequent careers were associated with this container of loose stool water, but survived it without permanent damage to their reputations. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member I think it is excellent!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Somewhat akin to a poor man's Day of the Jackal, this is an unusual British film being set entirely in Malta. The plot must've taken 5 minutes to write on the back of a beermat, but there is an attempt at some arty cinematography and the whole thing, thanks to some quite exciting action scenes, is watchable enough. 6.5/10 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
