It starts kind of okay but then it just
turns into this incomprehensible mess where you don’t know who is who. Which
was probably director’s intention because it reflects our protagonist’s state
of mind? But the whole thing is 2 hours long and it just drags on for too long.
Climax on the train is decent though and ending with the phone ringing reminded
me a bit of Gene Hackman with sax in Conversation.
Gérard Séty in a main role as Dr. Malik is okay
but supporting cast is great - especially Peter Ustinov, that greedy “nurse”
and the old guy who plays Sam Cooper. Half of the movie I couldn’t put a finger
on him and then I finally got it! He’s of course Sam Jaffe, Doc from The Asphalt Jungle. So another
great role of his in this one.
5/10
