Slick and craftsmanlike espionage thriller that runs along familiar lines and is packed with such veterans of the genre as John Vernon, Donald Pleasence and Joss Ackland. Michael Caine gives full value as the intelligence agent whose pursuit of gun runners ultimately threatens his own family when his son is kidnapped. Taut, tense and coupled with an exciting finale set in the Sussex Downs.
