This was the last film directed by Edward Dmytryk whose career goes way back to the glorious 40's.
George Kennedy stars as John Kinsdale, a Government employee with a very good family life living in Italy. One day while he is at work his entire family is killed by an army of unknown terrorists.
John is devastated and vows revenge. He enlists the aid of a co-worker named Mike McAllister (John Mills) to help him using a computer and a data tracking system. This is used in conjunction with some evidence John has obtained from police inspector Dr. Lupo (Raf Vallone).
Slowly Mike pieces everything together and then goes on a small rampage thru Rome in order to kill everyone involved with the murder of his family.
The climax is somewhat contrived, but it is an attention holder and does get a little bloody. If you like action movies, you might want to give this a try.
The rest of the cast includes Barry Sulllivan, Rita Tushingham, Shane Rimmer, Thomas Hunter, Arthur Franz, Haydee Politoff, and Frank Avianca.
