Reviews

  • Lexicon of international film : Political thriller against the historical background of radical decrees, wiretapping affairs and disposition tests, which skillfully and excitingly tells of the silent struggle of a loner against his invisible enemies. As an exposure of West German reality, however, the melodramatic story has too little evidential value.
