Action has always been a plus point for me and some violence has never bothered me--after all it's just play acting. But when it got down to randomly killing innocent people in town and add a few school children to the body count after that, I drew the line and found no entertainment value in this. In the car chase the passenger terrorist does a poor job with his machine gun often aiming it at--nothing. The film was likely an anti-Libya propaganda effort as at the time the country was one of our biggest enemies, climaxing at year's end with the bombing of the Pan Am flight in the Lockerbie incident. Seeing Kokomo, Indiana was interesting as I moved to the general area 15 years later for a spell. It was a typical Rust Belt town that later on like many such towns would suffer heavily with plant closures and the effects of de-industrialization. I hadn't seen many films with Chuck Connors late in his life such as this one (he died four years after this release) At 66, he was getting up there in the years but at least did his part fairly well.
