This film is very much kept alive by the key stars Hemmings, O'Toole, Morse and Pleasance their acting carries it through the sluggish pace, lacklustre direction and lack of budget...however the narrative depicting the inside plotting of a coup is still unusual even 40 years later and for that it deserves watching...the totalitarianism of the existing regime and the plotting and organisation required to overthrow it and the trust and mistrust involved was compelling. It could have been genuinely a great movie with more budget , better direction and tighter focus but still worth a watch for the premise alone.
