Certianly not the worst Eurotrash thriller to hit theaters in the1970s but Antonio Margheriti's thriller has little to offer. A wacky blend of heist thriller and eco-horror featuring Lee Majors, Karen Black, Margaux Hemingway and Roy Brocksmith sounds like camp heaven, but it's done in by near complete inertia. Majors' minor talents as an actor do not translate to the big screen and the supporting cast, which also includes James Franciscus and Marisa Berenson could easily lead one to believe that the casting director was the doorman from Studio-54. Alberto Spagnoli did the photography but very little of the Brazilian location shoot is fully exploited as much of the action takes place in a piranha invested lagoon.
