Tagline: A Paid Assassin Stalks His Prey.
Plot: Shrewd and evasive ex-Nazi and top assassin Oscar Snell is determined to rub out the King of Kafiristan. Snell's sole weakness is his sweet tooth; he leaves candy wrappers at the scene of his every crime. It's up to no-nonsense CIA agent Mark Stone to find Snell and stop him before it's too late.
My rating: 4.5/10
Will I watch it again? No.
Ugh. This is yet another boring Eurospy with barely anything memorable or positive to talk about. The story is passable, the acting (the version I saw was dubbed in English) isn't all that bad but the dub acting choice on one of the main characters was strange, and the action is ho-hum. Gordon Mitchell's not in it that much which hurts the picture I think. But the one thing that excels is Gianni Marchetti's wild and often fun score. Watch the video above for a little taste. Maybe the picture bored me and the music was different enough to keep me awake or at least pull me back in. That much I enjoyed. Everything else is hanging out on the wrong side of OK. This is for Eurospy completeists (like myself) only. For everyone else I'd say get the soundtrack for your next groovin' 60s dance party.
