American Roulette a routine, but exciting action feature directed by
Maurice Hatton, involves a death plot against an exiled South American President. The President, hiding in London, finds that he is the target not only of death squads from his own country, but also the CIA and the KGB. The good cast includes
Andy Garcia and
Susannah York.
Andy Garcia, in one of his earlier pictures, is excellent, and
Susannah York also gives a good performance. The color photography of this film adds appeal, but does not make up for a lackluster plot or slow pacing. Devotees of action films will find this action thriller worth a view, if only to see
Andy Garcia. ~ Linda Rasmussen, All Movie Guide
