Rating of 2 stars out of 5 Radio Times

One of those films that doesn't realise the offence it is causing by making comedy thrills out of a national tragedy. Ryan O'Neal and Anne Archer are fine as the couple involved in a risky heist of gems to fill rebel coffers in Colombia, and Omar Sharif is an entertaining enough villain, but the general light-heartedness of tone sits awkwardly on a story involving torture and armed struggle.

Rated - 2 starsSo 1970s it hurts

Martin Potts from Bishop's Stortford , 18/06/2005

There was a time, long ago, when all action films were like this - sort of sub James Bond where exotic locations and helicopters were de rigeur and acting was optional.

OK but nothing special

Rated - 2 starsok for a sunday afternoon

Riean from South Yorkshire , 03/05/2006

The film and story line were watchable for a sunday afternoon.

I suppose we expected a little more action and a little less wooden performance, but when you consider when the film was made, people expectation was some what different from the high standards expected from todays audiences.
