This is a gripping thriller with a background that feels authentic. A Palestinian teams up with a member of the Provisional IRA for the assassination of an Israeli scientist (Rod Steiger). A British special forces man (Anthony Perkins) is activated to prevent that. I think all the important characters are very well sketched - down to the young girl who falls in love with the IRA man - and I don't find fault with the cast. The ending is unforgettable.
