Good for its time! Worth watching for nostalgic value!
Harrowing and slick. It’s a classic 70s low-key action thriller with amazing locations and shots.
Suspenseful and tense. I need to watch it again.
The director does whatever he wants, all the time, and it works every time. What a suspenseful, well-directed movie.
This is the political thriller to aspire to be, it isn’t mind-numbing action, but isn’t boring either. It’s a fun game of cat and mouse
Decent thriller movie, great thriller, tense and gripping. Worth watching
I suppose it would've been acceptable at the time, but it's aged kinda poorly in all honesty.
A professional assassin with undetectable bullets accepts a job to murder the French Presideent. Interesting.
I’d watch this movie if you like political thrillers. It’s really long and you’ve gotta pay close attention. Good movie overall though.
Doesn’t age real well with the technology available now. Still good for its time, and enjoyable
