Using Amsterdam as the main focus where drug use is rife and the red light district is a good setting but think the film is known for the epic boat chase that was probably inspiration for the Dick Maas 1987 movie. The film manages to keep a steady pace.with a few twists and turns added in for the suspense. One I'd certainly come back to view, even though some of the visual effects are a bit out of date.

Never seen this one. I do usually love Alistair MacLean movies.
