Las garras del dragón rojo

In this third film of the "Kommissar X" series, the private detective named " Joe Walker" (Tony Kendall) is hired to go to Singapore to meet with an atomic physicist named "Professor Akron" (Ernst Fritz Furbringer) in desperate need of protection from foreign agents who want his new invention concerning a powerful laser beam capable of downing any airplane in flight. Traveling with him is his good friend "Captain Tom Roland" (Brad Harris) of the New York Police Department who often helps him regarding matters of this nature. Once they get there, however, they are met by several assassination attempts which only serves to underscore the importance of their mission. Now, as far as the merits of this film is concerned, I must say that I didn't think it was quite as good as it predecessors in large part because of the lack of character development and the multitude of low-quality fight scenes which seemed to completely dominate the picture. It also lacked the necessary mystery or suspense required of a film of this type. Because of that I have rated this movie accordingly. Slightly below average.
