this be actually a pretty bad film . the ideology be not as perverse a in those film collins make later . however and my main misgiving about the film be that it be implausible and quite frankly boring for a long time . the whole concept of an ex sa man join terrorist for no particular reason isn not very convincing and you can not help wonder why a group of highly organize terrorist ( who later become pretty clueless ) fall for it . the film start with a pretty powerful scene but then meander for quite a long time build up towards the great finale . overall and i think who dare win could have be an interesting 45 minute episode of the professional but the story doesn not carry a feature film . although reasonably successful at the time this film initiate the demise of collins career who in the eighty mainly make cheap and dubious soldier of fortune or army film . pity and because he actually be quite a versatile actor but at the end of the day martin shaw choose his role more carefully and have a career that still successful .
