Tropical riff on another casa that was blanca, with Chuck amuck in a sunken treasure plot against a Nazified Robards and Rey in the role of the police chief with mixed loyalties. As in the original, Bronson's character does not have much of a real romantic rival in McCorkindale. The tension in that aspect coming more from his blotto ex providing some will-they-won't-they tension for him and Sanda. There are some nice, high contrast exteriors, with cheated crane shots providing a meager sense of expanse. JLT largely plays it straight up the middle, though with more humor emerging at the end after a very nice monologue by Robards. It's a real treat for Bronson fans, with him in excellent form and no heavy propaganda after the requisite exoticism is given the once over. Maybe not the most ambitious film from this director or star, but a classic feel and surprisingly less typecast despite the material. This certainly does not deserve the reaction it seems to have garnered upon release, nor the rating barely above that of another Casablanca variation - Barb Wire.
