Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A generally inept psychological thriller, loosely taking off from the last episode of The Prisoner with its conflict between McGoohan and Kanner. The former's a radio phone-in host, the latter some sort of leftie who holds McGoohan hostage and demands the retrial of a recent court case over the airwaves. Pretty over the top, not to mention ill-conceived in its woolly thinking about terrorism.Author: GA
