Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Low-budget, quasi-documentary thriller about the kidnapping of a tycoon's daughter by a revolutionary cell. Despite disclaimers in the titles and despite being based on a novel (Black Abductors by Harrison James) written before the event, it's obviously modelled on the Patty Hearst kidnapping. Not bad at suggesting the girl's moral and political confusion, but it founders on its own confusion of styles, methods and aims.
