"If they want to play games, let them"

Roger Moore may have considered himself miscast as Rufus Excalibur ffolkes but he's good fun in his role as the gruff, cat loving expert in counter terrorism at sea called in by Lloyds insurers and the British government to foil a plot to ransom some North Sea oil rigs by a gang of villains led by Kramer and Schulman. It's an old fashioned adventure movie and I was thoroughly entertained. Apart from Sir Roger I liked James Mason as grumpy Admiral Brindsen, Jack Watson as the captain Olafsen of the hijacked boat and Lea Brodie as the crew member Sanna. The main villains Kramer and Schulman played by Anthony Perkins and Michael Parks were also excellent, and Perkins was intense and Parks was mild but they were both scary. They seemed to be more than friends. The cinematography by Tony Imi and the music score by Michael J. Lewis added to the appeal of the film. Definitely worth a watch.
