"Fassbinder described his film as 'a study of a perfect killer.' German-born Ricky returns to Munich from America (and service in Vietnam) and is hired as a professional killer by three police officers. The film is constructed as a collage of references to American genres and Fassbinder's own and others' work: names, characters, situations and visual details evoke other films, from Fassbinder's Gods of the Plague and the subsequent Fear Eats the Soul to Sam Fuller's Pickup on South Street. Fassbinder's unmistakably personal style ('a certain melancholy-gloomy atmospheric') holds this pastiche together." . "Der Amerikanische soldat The American soldier" . "Le clochard, français" . . .
