action
The boat owner Joe Martin is happily married to his wife Fabienne, lives on the Côte d'Azur and has a twelve-year-old stepdaughter. However, he has a secret. Seven years ago he broke out of a German prison with four other prisoners (Joe, Captain Ross, Fausto, Katanga), and he was supposed to be the driver. However, when a police officer was killed while trying to escape, Joe fled and left the others behind, which is why they were each sentenced to 20 years in prison. His past catches up with Joe when the others who have become drug dealers break out of jail, forcing him to use his yacht for their drug deals by taking control of his wife and eventually kidnapping his daughter. Joe sees red and kidnaps Moira, the mistress of one of the drug dealers, and keeps her trapped in a cabin in the mountains.
When Moira is to be exchanged for Fabienne and Joe's daughter, the situation escalates. One of the drug dealers is shot in the stomach and slowly bleeds to death. Joe goes into town to get a doctor. He is racing at hellish pace and is followed by the police, but comes too late. In the end there is only one drug dealer left. Joe manages to save his family and kill the kidnapper.
background

criticism
The lexicon of international films states: “Routinely staged suspense film with a few lengths.” The judgment on cinema.de is also ambivalent: The director makes the best of the constructed story, and Ingmar Bergman actress Ullmann seems out of place.
The first, however, writes: “Action icon Charles Bronson and Ingmar Bergman's muse Liv Ullmann harmonize amazingly well” and sees the highlights in the long chase , “the appearance of Bronson's wife Jill Ireland as a smoking hippie bride who opposes her relationship with a gangster the establishment rebels "and the" bone-dry [n] dialogues "
Others
