The "Human" Factor (1975)

"Human" Factor, The (1975, GBR) C-95m. *½ D: Edward Dmytryk. Starring George Kennedy, John Mills, Raf Vallone, Arthur Franz, Rita Tushingham, Barry Sullivan. Kennedy plays an American scientist in Naples, Italy, who is busy working for a secret NATO project concerning a war simulation. When his family is brutally killed by terrorists, he sets out to find the killers and avenge the death of his beloved wife and kids. Lumbering DEATH WISH-like thriller concentrates too much on Kennedy's grief and the chases are not too exciting either. Film's glorification of computers is laughable today. Score by Ennio Morricone is quite good (though repeated too often).
