North Sea Hijack

Product Information

It has often been said that Roger Moore can't act - that all he can do is raise his eyebrows a few inches. And while James Bond is rewarded with the most beautiful girl after having saved the world, Ffolkes receives a completely different gift at the end of the film. Licensed from Universal, Kino's Blu-ray of ffolkes looks very good, comparable to the transfer used for release in Europe a few years back.

We leave ffolkes with an award from the British government, delivered to him in Scotland by the Prime Minister herself. Also, see it because it is still a solid movie after 22 years and I still am entertained after 20+ viewings. The core of the action occurs at sea, with Perkins and his menacing bunch hijacking a supply ship and planting mines beneath the oil rig. I don't get the double 'F'," says American reporter Johnny Jones to Scott ffolliot, a man he's just met as they speed down a Dutch lane after an assassin. Stuart Galbraith IV is the Kyoto-based film historian currently restoring a 200-year-old Japanese farmhouse.

Following the successful conclusion of the mission, ffolkes is rewarded for his service with three kittens named after Esther, Ruth and Jennifer. I mean we've got Roger Moore playing an eccentric cat loving homosexual ( Ffoulkes is definitely gay ) battling against American bad guys and just think what a silly scenario it is . Almost equally good is Anthony Perkins's no-nonsense villain, whose own considerable intelligence trips up ffolkes a couple of times, enough to keep the movie tense and exciting throughout. Cocksure but with the skill and genius mind to back up his confidence, ffolkes does not suffer fools gladly. Most of all, the movie depends on Roger Moore, and he delivers a dynamic and amusing performance of a man of action who'd be much happier in an earlier age.

Ingenious, conceited, and menacing as Kramer is, Perkins doesn't have as much to work with in his characterization as Moore. M.; Jennifer Hilary as a secretary far more competent than ffolkes expects; and Lea Brodie as Sanna, the lone female crew member aboard the Esther, she also coming in handy when ffolkes needs assistance. North Sea Hijack is a fast paced, frequently entertaining thriller about the ingenious hijacking of a major North Sea oil rig. Everything about "Ffolkes" goes against the grain of the typical, well-mannered, saintly Moore image. The action is on the tame side but it's honest, and Moore's Rufus Excalibur ffolkes (yes, with a little f) is as fun a character as he ever played.

And if you look closely, you can actually see Perkins turning to Mason and saying, "I was in Psycho you know! Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse. The action also seems more realistic than most films, a no point do our heroes go in all guns blazing instead they negotiate with the criminals until they are ready to go in stealthily. Thrilling film about a North Sea hijack full of suspense , tension , excitement and some humor in charge of Roger Moore . Because "North Sea Hijack" is really all about Roger Moore the rest of the cast don't really make an impression, which in some ways is a good thing.

Ffolkes is a fellow who despises women is only wanting companionship of those of the feline persuasion and is a singularly short tempered and quite arrogant individual. While this isn't a great film, I'm sure it was never meant to be, it is good solid entertainment which doesn't contain excessive gore or bad language that so many films these days seen to contain. The cast is superb, with Anthony Perkins as gang leader, playing some kind of crossover between Norman Bates and the Bond villains.

McLaglen's picture and despite the talented and eclectic cast assembled, in my opinion, it's pretty bland and mediocre. Cue a deadline to be met, some shouting, some tongue in cheek dialogue and big finale that isn't very big at all. Esther is the name of the transfer ship that supplies Ruth, the oil drilling rig, and Jennifer is the gargantuan production rig. Her Majesty's government has hired him to do a nasty job on some people who have hijacked an offshore oil rig in the North Sea and are threatening to blow it up. Also check it out for nice performances by James Mason as an admiral in the Royal Navy and Faith Brook as a British Prime Minister who looks and acts suspiciously like Margaret Thatcher.
