Having known and admired John Frankeimer and his films, this is a strangely flawed political thriller that is undermined by terrible casting and serious plot holes. Andrew McCarthy stars as David Raybourne, an American journalist who returns to Rome after a brief stay in New York City where he secured a deal to write a political thriller revolving around the Red Brigade, Italy's notorious terrorist group.
Raybourne finds himself caught up in the reign of terror spread by the Red Brigade owing to his friendship with an Italian university professor, Italo Bianchi, who is secretly acting as an informer for the terrorists. American actor John Pankow is bizarrely cast as Bianchi and delivers a truly embarrassing performance in his clichéd attempt at pretending to be a native Roman. What was Frankenheimer thinking?
The best scenes in the film involve McCarthy and the highly talented and sensually alluring Italian actress Valeria Golino who plays Leah, his lover, and the cousin of Bianchi. Golino is the best part of the movie and it is too bad the surrounding cast is so weak. Sharon Stone plays Alison King, a supposedly hard-core war photographer who happens to be walking past a bank which the Red Brigade is in the process of robbing. Her photos make the cover of Time Magazine which brings her to the attention of Raybourne.
