Sven-Bertil Taube, a Swedish actor who I can't say that I've ever seen before, plays an American cop sent to Holland to trace the source of heroin shipments in this pretty cool Alistair MacLean penned detective thriller. The film's highlight is a spectacular boat chase through the Amsterdam's canals that bears comparisons to the car chases in Bullet and The Seven Ups. Notwithstanding a few groan-moments of the era's typical cinematic excess, I completely enjoyed this rather poorly reviewed film. The score is excellent and Taube makes for an engaging and very watchable leading man. He's a bit of a cross between Alain Delon and Jan Michael Vincent.
6.2/100 The boat chase alone makes this a decent recommendation.
