Gary Arnold Washington Post ffolkes is an admirably crisp, incisive counter-terrorist thriller, the most proficient and entertaining movie of its kind since Richard Lester's Juggernaut. Dec 18, 2015 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Moore is amusing in a change-of-pace role. Rated: 3/4 Oct 13, 2019 Full Review Gilbert Adair Monthly Film Bulletin Such eccentric coating on basically humdrum material is symptomatic of the film as a whole. Aug 2, 2015 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 26, 2005 Full Review Steve Crum Kansas City Kansan A mediocre modern high seas pirate tale.

Markus S A very exciting film with a cranky lead actor and good character portrayal. The plot still works today and is a must-have-seen classic for me. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/22/24 Full Review SICKS6SIX S THEY DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THIS ANYMORE. PROBABLY BECAUSE EVERYONE IS DEAD NOW WHO IS IN IT. THE SAINT. PSYCHOPATH BATES. CAST OF STARS. NOT A HITCHOCK THRILLER BY ANY MEANS BUT WORTH WATCHING. MOORES SCREEN PRESENCE IS TOP NOTCH AS IT PSYCHOPATH BATES. IT'S ALL VERY PREDICTABLE BUT WELL MADE AND PRE CGI SO THE OIL RIGS AND SUPPLY VESSELS ARE REAL. I VOTE IT IT A HEALTHY 75%. IT IS BETTER THAT JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING MADE IN THE LAST 25 TEARS. THE YEARS THAT WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS HOLLYWOOD'S WORST YEARS. RELIANT ON CGI. PRETTY ACTORS WHO CAN'T ACT AND GIRLS WHO CAN'T COOK. IF CHARLED LAUGHTON WAS 21 TODAY HE WOULDN'T GET A JOB IN THE BOX OFFICE LET ALONE PLAY LEAD IN FEATURE FILM. AND IF SHAUN PENN HAD BEEN 21 IN THE 1930s HE WOULD BE SELLING TICKETS IN THE BOX OFFICE. MOAN. GRUMP. GRIPE. TIMES HAVE CHANGED AND NOT FOR THE BETTER EITHER.. IMO.. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/17/23 Full Review Robert A Sheer entertainment, with bonus points just because it has Roger Moore. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/05/20 Full Review Audience Member One of the Finest movies ever made a superb and wonderous movie romp! Miss this one and miss out M Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review regan s Hilarious movie. Love the quote "both my parents died in childbirth". "I like cats. I don't like people who don't." Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Better than you might expect. Roger Moore is not bad and Anthony Perkins makes a scary villain. There are some elements of camp but some genuine suspense. A slick adventure reminiscent as someone else remarked, "Juggernaut". Worth a try! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
