A British suspense-thriller; A story about a middle-aged NATO electronics expert who aims to track down the killers of his family aided by a colleague and access to an early version of the internet. This film, with a theme about blood vengeance and how it consumes to the point of self-destruction, has conviction and carries a modicum of suspense. George Kennedy's arresting performance as a middle-aged nerd, an everyman, hulking around Campania and Lazio like an out of control ox lends a touch of realism to scenes of lex talionis. However, his character's violent tendency is unexplored so the emotional cards fail to stack fully in his favour. Ennio Morricone's score responds with just the right emotional tone throughout.
