This was a unique film, Bond style title sequence provided by Binder, second unit direction by the greatest Bond director John Glen, a great script and the talents of screen greats Richard Burton, the best Bond Roger Moore, and Richard Harris. A banker hires Burton to rescue a deposed African leader, and Burton puts his old team back together, you get great action, with some realistic practical effects and good old British humour from Sandy and cast, R. Lee Emery Full metal jacket drill Sgt equivalent. There is a double cross during the rescue and the men are left to find their own way out. No typical Hollywood everything goes to plan, there are some jarring and sad parts in this film as characters you have followed and enjoyed watching for two hours don't all make it home. A particular emotional scene between Burton and Harris near the climax stands out as a sad reality of what some men went thru left with no option. 4/5.
