Honestly, this film gets a little more hate than it deserves. However, that only means this is a solid 3/10, not a 1/10. It has some really great shots and an interesting premise. That's all this film has going for it.

This thing is an absolute mess, and it is honestly only worth watching to see how bad Bergman's worst movie is. After about ten minutes of watching this hollow attempt at a Hollywood-style message film, you can see why the great auteur disowned it completely. If Bergman hadn't made this, it'd be so easily and correctly forgotten. People give his "Crisis" a lot of flack, but this truly is the worst thing he ever directed.

The action sequences consist mostly of physics-defying car chases, nonsense grappling and gunfights that make Stormtroopers look like marksmen. The dialogue stops making any sense quickly and the message is some vague nonsense about some weird KGB/gestapo hybrid spy organization hunting down a refugee over a McGuffin. As much as the first half is watchable (if contrived), the second half of this movie will have you begging for it to just end. The plot utterly falls away and the final sequences on the boat in harbor are some of the worst in film history.

I never would have watched it if I weren't a Bergman completionist. And even if you are too, save yourself from this total waste of time. It's no Manos or Plan 9, but it is absolutely worse than almost any real studio film of the time period.
