A full action spirited finale cannot make up for the fact that for the previous 100 minutes this has been pretty dire. The lovely Nieves Navarro (Susan Scott) does well with much screaming and wide eyed horror but barley removes her coat, let alone anything else. The dialogue is a real let down and until the very end there seemed to be little of interest at all. The visuals are nothing special, the music par for the course and for a giallo this is certainly lacking the sleaze element. Perhaps though this was intended more as a thriller, certainly the drug ring theme would seem to suggest this and viewed as such perhaps my comments are harsh. This certainly has it's moments, especially the weird penultimate scene in the flat with the crazies and the noose and then of course the marvellous rooftop fight, but is slow and unnecessarily confusing along the way.
