Slow and static loses the race in this badly dubbed Canadian movie (allegedly filmed in Italian) about a recently released car thief (Fabio Testi) who, along with Eli Wallach, robs a bunch of jewels, and hides out in a hotel at the border, finding out that the money belt that contains the jewels he stole have in turn been stolen. He believes that the beautiful Ursula Andress robbed him after a fling, and after confronting her, they end up hiding out together.
The highlight of this film is a chase through the very empty highways of Montreal, including some jumps across dividers that will make you say "woh!" While Andress it certainly beautiful, her character isn't exactly someone that I would call trustworthy, and at times there are conflicting feelings whether she has the jewels or not, as well as what her true motives are. In certain moments, she resembles a young Cloris Leachman or Glenn Close.
Testi is rather bland, and Wallach, one of the great actors of the 20th Century, is completely wasted, although his character does play an important part in certain twists. A mixed bag of action and romance with absolutely no comedy, the fact that prints of this are rather poor makes it difficult to get through as well.
