Again cardinale is sexy as ever. A gritty 70's hostage drama. Cardinale is taken hostage by a wacky sniper hit man in a hotel room. good surprises and some clever moments. Forsythe not much of a presence in the film. Musante shines over everybody.

I've watched at least eight of Damiano Damiani's splendid films, like with The Case is Closed, Forget it (1971), A Rather Complicated Girl (1969) and The Witch (1966) most of them written as well. With this one a blu-ray from Radiance I almost didn't get it as I wasn't sure that, the idea of preparing to overthrow an African government, for me didn't sound too wonderful. But as it is with Damiani the dialogue is usually so great I took a chance and then after about fifteen minutes it all changed and instead someone is shooting from the roof of a hotel and immediately we have action. I always find that Claudia Cardinale is great and in this one she is splendid and also with Tony Musanti as well. In the hotel there is a hostage situation and there is the English actor John Steiner who I never remember but is really good and did some 90 or so films like Slap the Monster on Page One (1972), Caligula (1979) and Tenebrae (1982) and even making eight through this year in 1977. This one really is constantly thrilling, so well written with even some humour but it is always changing around and we never quite know what will happen. The ending is also amazing and what about those black capes with four men with guns at night but maybe with only one that works or maybe another in the dark. Sensational.
