This French.Spanish co-production stars Eddie Constantine as Al Pereira, a former government agent who is called out of retirement to investigate some mysterious assassinations.
It seems that all over the world people have been assassinating high officials with no rhyme or reason. It's discovered that the killers have a rare blood type that Pereira also has and so he is sent to be kidnapped.
The movie moves along at a very good pace and the spy elements are played up much more than the sci-fi, but it is a good mix. Constantine is excellent as usual and he is supported by a great cast that includes Fernando Rey, Francoise Brion, Mara Laso, Dina Loy and Sophie Hardy.
The black and white photography is a perfect mood setter for this film. The climax is a great battle between Pereira and the mad doctor with his creations.
When I was much younger I had several chances to see this movie and turned every one of them down as I thought the movie would be boring. I am much older now and I found it to be great fun.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
