Nice film in which the son of a secret agent is kidnapped for ransom. A great plot that unfolds slowly but surely. It looks easy and is solid over the full length. On the other hand, the film does not really impress anywhere else and it is all rather standard. But because of the location work and the nice 1970s atmosphere, just 3.5 stars.

You can always count on Dirty Harry director Don Siegel for a good thriller with all the trimmings, including some strong action scenes. The son of a special agent, Tarrant is kidnapped by a group of terrorists who demand not a ransom, but diamonds for his release. Based on evidence, Tarrant's boss Harper believes that the kidnapping was staged by Tarrant himself to enrich himself. And to make things stink, there is also a mole in the secret services . A good spy thriller that is also strongly acted by Michael Caine and Donald Pleasance. The second half was non-stop exciting until the very end. What else do you need on a Friday night?
