Actually perhaps it's only sisters he doesn't like, his own or his in-laws. He's Roger Moore, a divorced anti-terrorist agent called to assist in the hijacking of an oil rig taken over by Anthony Perkins and crew, and they're not after just a few barrels of crude. They're out to kill if they don't get what they want, and on the orders of prime minister Faith Brook (certainly not based on Margaret Thatcher), he gets to do what he needs to do to overpower the terrorists.
Moore is none too thrilled to find out that one of the people he must work with closely is a woman, Lea Brodie, and even when he's complimenting her, he's insulting her for her gender. But he can't help but see her for the brave soul she is, so they create a bond of sorts, and he begins to see her as a good buddy if not completely get over his sexism.
This is more desperately trying to escape from the image of James Bond even though he's playing a Bond like agent. He gets some very funny lines at women's expense, but they are done with such charm that even a woman can laugh at them because they are so ridiculous and obviously they just make him look silly. James Mason is also along for the ride, but he doesn't have much to do, so this is all about Moore, the villainous Perkins (who also gets some funny nasty lines), and the action which will keep you glued to the screen. A perfect popcorn movie that doesn't need a double martini.
