The Syndicate
Two vehicles lurch across the east African bush, carrying an ill-assorted party of prospectors who have formed a syndicate to search for uranium deposits. As their four-week window for digging starts to close, trouble soon starts amongst the group and there are some sinister 'accidents'... It is obvious that one of the party is trying to sabotage the expedition; but who?

Very best movie i ever watch
Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Reasonable action-thriller concerning a group of prospectors whose plans to mine a Kenyan savanna for its rich, and as yet untapped uranium deposits slowly deteriorate under threat of double cross and jealousy.William Sylvester ("2001 A Space Odyssey") stars as the all purpose Burt whose affections for Mari (Ritchie) naturally conflict with her husband (Urquhart), straining relations and forcing Urquhart to hit the bottle on a regular basis. German Christiam Doermer (and Hardy Kruger look-a-like) plays the self-assured blonde partner, though not involved in the sordid love triangle, still vying for a greater share of the profits, despite championing an ethical concern over the uranium's use once it's enriched by unscrupulous buyers.As a result of the intrigue, plenty of fisticuffs and vocal arguments ensue, while the quartet are camped in the African wilderness, vulnerable to the usual witch-doctors, native superstition and the local big game.It's hastily undertaken with occasional action and a climax that's over in under a minute (though it's still reasonably taut and effective). The Kenyan scenery is always pleasing and the film shows a promise that while not entirely fulfilled, isn't bad all the same if your expectations aren't too great.
