Lewis Collins stars as Capt. Peter Skellen, a trooper with the British Special Air Service who is forced out due to violence against his own men.
It soon turns out to be a ploy as he is assigned to infiltrate a radical group who is planning several terrorist attacks as well as kidnapping high ranking US Military dignitaries.
There is plenty of action and plot twists to keep the viewer interested and I found that I was kind of sucked into the plot. Judy Davis is Frankie Leith, the female leader of the terrorist organization that falls in love with Skellen.
There are some very well known actors in this film including Richard Widmark, Edward Woodward, Robert Webber and Patrick Allen. However, I was really surprised and pleased to see Ingrid Pitt in this film as a terrorist who becomes more and more unhinged. Her performance is excellent.
I had never seen nor heard of this film before I got it on a DVD set, and when I looked it up, all I could find was the usual negative crap. Don't buy the crap! Watch this for yourself and see if I'm not right about it being a good action film. I enjoyed it. I hope you would as well.
