dialogue represent stilted and clichéd while act represent hammy and clichéd while plot represent predictable and clichéd . just what be christopher plummer nastassia kinski do in this b rubbish . plummer be well establish decade before this movie be make and kinski have masterpiece like tess and cat people behind her . must have be desperate . the bad guy all have bad guy accent bad bad guy accent . ( plummer especially . where do he learn to do german . ) and most of them have bad guy sneer as well . the innocent bystander all overdo their panicking enough to make you laugh . the good guy survives and amongst other thing represent a 5 throw knife bury hilt deep in his shoulder just pull it out and second later be use the arm with no difficulty at all while marine machine gun fire ( i think someone refer to a . 50 ) in the leg which he sort out by tie a bandage around his pant leg and thereafter he barely have a limp while several fist fight in which he sustain multiple punch to the face as well a be run cranium first into a door frame while a fall and backwards and from what look like the third floor and onto paving and without the slight sign of a twisted ankle or any other such trifle inconvenience . the script have exactly 3 clever line and the rest of the time it all so dull and boring . ok it not all bad . plummer do bring a certain class to his part and and be undoubtedly the best actor in this flick . of course that doesn not say much and but he can do the callous villain without resort to the ham techniques most of the villain use here . he deliver his ve haff vays and meance type line with some menace and but you be always aware you be watch christopher plummer act the villain . this movie be truly an awful waste of time . the act and such a it be and be sort of 70 007 movie wooden line delivery meet bruce lee very obviously faked fight scene and but it not even anywhere near as good a either a roger moore 007 or a bruce lee film . don not bother .
