英国导演彼得.克林森,在本片里发挥了他紧张气氛营造的特长,表现了不错的功力。一开始便以车队护送黑人元首进城及杀手埋伏高楼意欲暗杀这两组画面,铺开了紧凑逼人的气氛。医院男护士和元首由敌而友的转变拍得也较具层次和韵味。片末,医院男护士和女儿以及元首乘吊车到山顶躲避的高潮戏,亦具不错的吸引力。An ailing African leader is admitted to a hospital. A male nurse at the hospital kidnaps him, but it turns out that things aren't exactly what they seem to be.
