Storyline

A Spanish police chief hires an undercover agent (a Jewish mercenary(?)) to infiltrate a gang of heroin smugglers. The mercenary is code-named Eagle because of a tattoo. Infiltrating the gang, he uses a female agent as a point of contact. However, as he gets deeper into the gang, he discovers that there bigger goings-on than dope. The gang is involved in the transportation of smuggled uranium for the manufacture of nuclear arms for sale to Libya and other aspiring third world countries. Things get even stickier when a ruthless bad guy shows up and he turns out to be one of Eagle's former cohorts in the Foreign Legion.

Rather dull action adventure flick

It's got planes it's got parachuting, it's got loads of stuff like that, but it's still a pretty dull film. It didn't really grab me, plus the story line for the most part was quite hard to follow. All the cast seem to do a pretty okay job on it but the pacing is quite bad and the plot is too mixed around. Probably of most interest to parachuting nuts.
