Critic Reviews

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
A typical action yarn about political terrorism that got waylaid by an intricate plot line that never quite made sense.
Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena
Tenso e inteligente, o filme cria um clima constante de suspense e nos envolve em uma trama repleta de reviravoltas que traz Connery como um sujeito perspicaz e absolutamente determinado a vencer o confronto com os terroristas.
