Interpriter Laura Lewis (the delightful Diana Sands) wins a free trip to Lebanon. Her mischievous brother Skiggy (affable J. Eric Bell) and whiny TV show host Sam (the amusingly smarmy Seth Allen) tag along. Laura winds up becoming involved in an international plot concerning the assassination of a top African leader. Suave mercenary Liv (a nicely smooth turn by Calvin Lockhart) befriends Laura and comes to her rescue. Competently directed by Michael Schultz, with a groovy score by Michael Tschudin, a steady pace, pleasing chemistry between Sands and Lockhart, pretty, picturesque cinematography by Andreas Bellis, a light, breezy tone, occasional outbursts of thrilling action, beautiful locations, a funky, throbbing theme song, engaging characters, and solid acting from a personable cast (Tomas Baptiste in particular does well as the coolly malevolent head bad guy General Christian Awani), this picture makes for a nice little diversion.
