Seriously cool, almost documentary-like thriller in which no one but Omar Sharif seems to be acting.
Tony Gibbs is cutting lots of action scenes to voiceovers.
The kids seem a wonderful counterbalance to the tension.
Great cast comprises Richard Harris and David Hemmings, Anthony Hopkins, Shirley Knight, Ian Holm, Clifton James, Roy Kinnear, Freddie Jones and Roshan Seth.
Written by producer Richard de Koker with additional dialogue by Alan Plater - whoever did what it's full of very well-written, natural and often very funny dialogue. In fact thinking about it I'm sure we can assume that the funny dialogue is from Plater. Gerry Fisher is on camera.
