A mediocre Euro Thriller with a lot of known actors delivering funcional interpretations in an action movie with no much interest. There are some decently staged action scenes as spectacular skii chases , skydiving , a car pursuit , karate fights , crossfire and anything else . It packs a lousy and discolored photography, as well as inappropriate and anticlimatic musical score from Daniele Patucchi and Pino Donaggio . Being middlingly played by Jorge Rivero as the undercover hero who becomes involved into a twisted operation by infliltrating in the dangerous band and take them down . Along with several popular actors as Maud Adams , Max Von Sidow , George Peppard , and the Mexican Susana Dosamontes who is mother of singer Paulina Rubio . Along with brief interpretations and small characters from some Spanish secondaries as Jose Maria Blanco, Pat Ondiviela , Jose Maria Cañete and Jose Antonio Ceinos .
It contains atmospheric cinematography by Hans Burmann, though a perfect remastering being really necessary beacause the film copy is washed-out. Shot on location in Catalunya , Barcelona , Casa Milá, La Pederera , Barcelona, Spain . This cheap motion picture was regularly directed by Jose Antonio De La Loma. This craftsman was a fine writer/producer/director who made movies of all kinds of genres . Outstanding in Quinqui sub-genre with Perros Callejeros I and II , Últimos Golpes Del Torete , Perras Callejeras and Tres Días De Libertad . He also wrote or directed Paella/Spaghetti Western as The Boldest Job in the West, Texas Kid , Clint the Solitary , Return of Clint, Blood at Sundown , Seven Pistols for Timothy . And Euro-Spy , Action and Thriller movies as Metralleta Stein , Razzia , Explosion, Squadron Counterforce or Playing with Death , Goma 2 , The magnificent Tony Carrera , Playboy to Kill , Target Frankie , among others . Rating : 4.5/10 . Below average .
