Joe Martin, a quiet American, lives a quiet life in the South of France renting boats to tourists. He is happily married to Fabienne and has a twelve-year-old daughter named Michèle. But the quiet man has a past: ten years before, Joe (then Moran) had escaped with four other convicts, among whom the sadistic ex-mercenary Katanga. Seeing the latter brutally kill an M. P., Joe had abandoned his accomplices and left with the car. One night, Captain Ross, Katanga, Whitey and Fausto re-appear.. 是當年泰倫斯揚回勇之作。 隐姓埋名的退役军官被昔日入狱的战友寻仇、被迫保护家人的故事。前三分之二木屋戏之前的剧情还是可以的，但前后矛盾交代不足，我们看到反派手下突然开枪破坏计划导致上级身亡的举动也略感一头雾水，也许是反派念在旧情对主角太过宽容的原因吧。而结尾手下被撂倒的方式也太简单粗暴了些，如果 能在山中放火戏后结束电影则是最完美的。动作戏很有限，盘山公路飙车戏可圈可点，导演过三集007的特伦斯杨调度技术毋庸置疑。
