Reviews
"Interesting and largely excitingly developed political thriller whose oppressive subject matter loses its credibility due to the genre-related abbreviations and effects."
“France's successful director Henri Verneuil (...), formerly a journalist himself, staged this exciting political thriller about the power and machinations of the multinationals according to the usual journalistic craft, but in the tried and tested style of entertainment cinema. As a journalist, the French character mime Patrick Dewaere, who died early, shines here in his penultimate role. "
background
The film is an adaptation of the book "Mille milliards de dollars: le monde économique de demain" (German title: One thousand billion dollars - 60 mammoth corporations dominate the world's economy in 1985 ) by Robert Lattès .
