This is a fantastic thriller, adapted from the famous Fredrick Forsythe novel. John Voight is cast as a new breed of optimistic German, an idealist who picks up on an old diary of a Jewish inmate (imprisoned at Riga). The story concerns his dangerous journey, to hunt down a notorious Nazi War Criminal. Realistic to the hilt and with one of the best Surprising twists. Hardly anything today comes out half as good and topped only by the most brilliant performance by Maximiliam Schell. Only the musical score is a tad mundane but does not distract from this epic, suspense thriller.
