An intelligent euro-thriller concerning an algerian terrorist plot to assassinate De Gaul. This film is carried almost in it's entirety by Edward Fox, who is completely believable as the cold-blooded assassin, ruthlessly setting about his business of professional killer while a multi-national task force blindly pursue him. The documentary style is a little uninvolving and the ending a little anti-climactic but Fox is excellen,t as are the rest of the cast (including a very young Derek Jacobi) and it makes a nice change of pace to the usual pointless explosions and car chases.

A fantastic thriller that unfolds by uniquely following the villain in near-documentary style. The film, despite its unassuming way of capturing its action, is tense and exciting from start to finish and Edward Fox creates a nuanced and, yes, often likable assassin.
