While hardly anything special, this is not too bad for a low-budget thriller. The plot is rather simple, but it gets enough out of the material to fill the running time without a lot of padding. The two leads (Pierre Fresnay and Michel Auclair) are solid enough.The story starts with Fresnay and Auclair as two South American rebels who face some very difficult decisions in their struggle against their country's brutish dictator. The two leads are not especially sympathetic in any respect, and the rest of the characters are also too plain for it to get the most out of the suspense that it builds up. The production has no glaring weaknesses (aside from a couple of noticeably implausible developments), but it also has no significant strengths.Yet it does deliver some real suspense for a time, and that is all that it tried to do. There were many similar movies made in subsequent eras, and even some of the ones with much bigger budgets did not really create that much more suspense than this one did.
