The Terrorists (II) (1974)
6/10
Confusing plot

Warning: Spoilers
Interesting and enjoyable film but ...

It seems that I was not the only reviewer to find the plot confusing. I didn't get what the Queen's Messenger was up to and, at first, who was fighting whom and why in the concluding fight. Some people seem to believe that Petrie really was a policeman - I think that Tahlvik merely claimed that he was to sow discord between the two gangs. And I had trouble following Tahlvik's "lighbulb" deduction.

The aircraft pursuit was very scenic and seemed to go on for a while. It was remarkable both that the Scandinavian police picked up the terrorist pilot within minutes of his landing in a very remote location and also that they got him back to the airport (presumably by road vehicles) in such a short time.

It's films like this that make my regret the closure of the old IMDB message boards, whose content sometimes helped me - and others - to a better understanding.
