Enough tension to give the upholstery of your seatpost wear marks.
The car chase is one of the "high voltage" sequences.
Beautifully filmed in Malta; with an excellent cast.
Tip:
Those who would like to purchase the DVD will be better off with the Spanish release (title Testigo Ocular)
It has perfect image quality.
Unfortunately it doesn't have English subtitles, which is a bit of a shame because the actors are sometimes hard to understand (and that's not due to the sound quality of the DVD)

An exciting thriller in which the tension is constantly present due to the continuous search and pursuit of the boy (Mark Lester). Add to that the beautiful locations in Malta, the lighthouse, the catacombs that thicken the atmosphere of the film. The intro to the assassination attempt is well and atmospherically built up. Many action sequences follow, but the great car chase scene in the final scene is the cream of the crop of the film. Although I must admit that Susan George can also be that. In the meantime I have seen a few films of hers and no one can deny that she has something special. Not only beautiful, but also very stylish with her nice outfits. The young Lester plays his role convincingly, I am curious about the film What the Peeper Saw in which he plays as a boy together with Britt Ekland. The film is also a bit light at times due to the fantasy of the boy and the ending is satisfying. 7/10

Quite violent for its time. The two killers spare no one in their quest to murder a child who witnessed their attack on a visiting African head of state. A girl, a priest, the maid and a civilian with his truck are murdered without batting an eyelid. This action thriller is also somewhat reminiscent of Witness with Harrison Ford. The climax in particular is very intense. The film was filmed entirely in Malta and shows a lot of the island as it looked at the time.
