When his wife is killed in a restaurant shoot-out, intelligence man Harry Hannan has a breakdown and finds that his department don't want him back. Someone's trying to kill him and it could be them, though a cryptic Jewish death-threat suggests there's something else going on. His only ally seems to be mousy Ellie Fabian who has managed to move into his New York apartment. (officiële tekst van distribiteur)

It’s not enough that Roy Scheider is traumatized by the death of his wife; he also has to quickly learn Aramaic. Especially the words for revenge, syphilis, and "you’re next." The positives are Tak Fujimoto's kinetic camera work and the charisma of the remaining entry on the death list. However, the tension-building, with all those bells, shower disturbances, and cliff-hanging moments trying desperately to kiss Hitchcock’s plump hand, makes it worse. Fortunately, it was over a decade before the glass-paneled office of Dr. Lecter opened, giving Jonathan Demme time to hone his craft.
