This fun film is packed with intrigue , noisy action , thrills , tension and bits of humor . It results to be an entertaining and amusing caper to take a robbed gold shipment and to find it to be necessary a Nazi prisoner who knows the secret , that's why they help him to break out of prison . The picture is passable but the suspense and action should hold most viewers' attention. It contains uncomfortable mix of flaws and gaps with little believable situations and it's regularly developed. There's a lot of notorious actors giving acceptable interpretations , both American ones : Telly Savalas , Robert Culp , James Mason , Aldo Ray , Don Fellows and Germans : Günter Meisner , Adrian Hoven , Wolfgang Lukschy , Doris Kunstmann or Austrian : Charles Korvin . This ¨Inside out¨ bears certain resemblance to ¨Wild Geese 2¨ by Peter H. Hunt starred by Scott Glenn , Barbara Carrera , Edward Fox and Laurence Olivier as Rudolph Hess , in which a team of mercenaries is hired to spring Rudolph Hess from Spandau Prison in Berlin . As the role Reinhard Holtz played by Wolfgang Lukschy is Rudolph Hess-lookalike, who was judged in Nuremberg , found guilty on two counts and he was given a life sentence in Spandau ; long time after , he was found dead at age 93 with an electric cord wrapped around his neck ; Spandau prison was subsequently demolished to prevent it from becoming a shrine.
The picture was middlingly directed by Peter Duffel . The good craftsman Peter Duffell directed various films , such as : ¨Experience preferred.. but not essential¨ , ¨The Far Pavilions¨ , ¨House that dripped blood¨, ¨Inside out¨. But his speciality was mini-series and several TV episodes from famous series , such as : ¨The Bill¨ , ¨Space precinct¨ , ¨Tales of the Unexpected¨ , ¨Inspector Morse¨ , ¨The Waterfall¨ , ¨The famous five¨ , ¨Journey to the Unknown¨ , ¨Man in a Suitcase¨ , ¨The adventures of Black Beauty¨ , ¨Strange report¨ , ¨Far Pavilions¨ and ¨The Avengers¨ , among others . Rating : 5.5/10 . Essential and fundamental watching for Telly Savalas and Robert Culp fans . Well worth seeing for caper movies enthusiasts.
