Will I watch it again?  No.

Meh.  Klaus Kinski's creepy-ass mug makes for a great villainous look.  He and his team are efficient in killing mofos.  It's tough to judge the acting because this is an Italian production dubbed in English.  I'd prefer to see this in the original language with English subs but you take what you can get, right?  Anyway, it's got its moments I guess but there are spots that drag, and some of them are partly because they don't have music.  Sometimes that's exactly what a scene needs but not for this flick, it needed more music and something that would punch it up a bit.  I'm in the middle of a 60s Eurospy movie and that one suffers the same problem.  There's a some action and nudity but it's not enough to make up for the slowness of the other bits.  I did like the ending being somewhat of a downer.  I like surprises.
