Glen P D.

Sean Connery delivers in this smart action flick from the early 70's. A deliberate pace in the movie may turn off some viewers, but the cat-and-mouse game between Connery and the terrorists more than makes up for the slower action pace. Good movie!

This film makes you think since it was filmed back before terroists really started becoming a everyday event. You can understand why so many people today still look down on the terrorist and what they do. Very good film and excellent acting . Worth seeing.
