David W 02/14/2024 A great cast that is largely wasted in a tepid and achingly mediocre movie. All concerned have done much better. See more 08/28/2021 Michael Caine is a man whose black wife, along with a group of African children, are kidnapped by slave traders in Africa, and with the local government unwilling to deal with the matter, he and a friend have to travel across Africa and the Mideast to get the kidnap victims back. What could have been a powerful subject, but it falls flat. Why? Peter Ustinov gives a great performance as the villainous slave trader, but everybody else is going through the motions. There were reportedly problems with the people producing the film with much staff turnover A shame, really, when such an important but underreported subject matter could and should have been brought to the fore. See more a.l.jude p @judebd 07/11/2021 Evil make by humans said in simple as possible. A treat to watch. See more 05/22/2017 This film was made in spite of its high-ranking cast dreadfully. The picture quality is very bad, despite what time it was. The plot is boring and the film is great IF you want to fall asleep. See more 08/10/2013 Actors Boredom Transferred To The Audience, See more 06/19/2011 UN Doctor on African mission has wife kidnapped by slave traders, leading to a lengthy pursuit across the Sahara. Good cast produces less than impressive results. Caine basically disowned the film; he has done worse though. See more Read all reviews
