5/10
after a hunt found a dvd but not as good as I recall

Warning: Spoilers
I am sure I read the book as a teenager.

The film used to be on tv back when British tv showed a lot of films.

I think this is the weakest film of a Mclean book.

I am surprised so many people here praise it so highly.

I can't see why people like it so much.

Set in Amsterdam this is a crime thriller involving drug smuggling.

The plot is less important than the action.

The film has one good boat chase on the canals.

Sure the makers of Bond saw this scene.

The lead is some Swedish guy who is not very good in the part.

Amsterdam looks ok I suppose.

I am not a huge fan of Amsterdam,full of dodgy people and always cold.

As I said the plot is weak,it is hardly a who dunnit.

I only paid 50 pence (half a pound Sterling) for this and I am glad to add to my Mclean film collection but I didn't enjoy the film much.

I do like The Satan Bug and When 8 bells toll which also obscure films based on Mclean books.
