US agent Ventura (Anthony Quinn) has been trying to bring drug baron Brizard (James Mason) down for ages but to no avail, so he decides to employ a contract killer.
To his surprise the assassin turns out to be an old friend, Deray (Michael Caine). Deray is sent down to Marseille to get involved with Brizard's organisation, meanwhile Ventura is starting to have second thoughts...
A decent enough early 1970s crime movie though with the three leads you might expect a little more, maybe we are just being a bit greedy? This is still an enjoyable film, gritty and violent at times and also with some good sports car action.
