Rating: - ffolkes with a 'fuh,' please. He's a cat-loving misogynist who wastes no time dispatching bad guys, sometimes with a spear gun
"You really don't like women, do you?" ffolkes is asked. Rufus Excalibur ffolkes (Roger Moore) is an eccentric, misanthropic ex-British military officer who has his own team of highly trained underwater commandoes, ffolkes' fusiliers. He specializes in hostage rescue and anti-terrorism action, all immaculately planned and decisively executed. The bearded, curmudgeonly ffolkes favors Edwardian suits, does petit point and loves Scotch and cats. He's on a North Sea oil platform where Lou Kramer, a clever ... Read More
Rating:  - Different Ffolks
An edge of your seat thriller this is not. Something like a Bond film, though the "Bond" in this movie hates women, loves cats and is quirky but suave at the same time. I liked the character of Ffolks.
Takes a while to get used to Anthony Perkins as anyone other than Norman Bates; but he does play a nut in this movie as well (granted a more rational minded one than in Psycho - he's sane enough to want a huge ransome in exchange for not blowing up an oil rig).
The movie moves ... Read More
Rating: - Good thriller
Saw this film when it came out, more than a quarter century ago. Nothing spectacular, but a good, enjoyable thriller, about a British team (led by Roger Moore, slightly out of character as a serious, sober and cat loving government agent) trying to overtake an oil platform in the North Sea that has been hijacked by terrorists (led by the late, unforgettable Anthony Perkins, in one of his nervous performances). The great James Mason also appears as one of the top admirals of the British navy. A good, solid thriller. ... Read More
Rating:  - "That's ffolks. Two small "f"'s." = EXCELLENT!
I've been a fan of this film since it first aired on cable movie channels here in the US in the early 80's. I still remember some of my favorite lines as, "Cigarette, Kramer?" or the captain saying, "I'm not in the business of making terrorists happy." w/ Kramer responding, "Terrorists are confused. I don't follow politics of any kind, but I do know what I want." And the look in Perkin's eyes right before Moore finishes him off. IMMORTAL!
This movie was well written, scripted and played out by a once in ... Read More
Rating: - Who Said Roger Moore Can't Act?
This is one of the greatest action adventure films ever made. It has so many strong points. The cast and script are far above anything anyone ever expected and unfortunately this film went entirely unnoticed on its release. This is one of director Andrew V. McLaglen's best films thanks to a cast that includes Roger Moore, Anthony Perkins, James Mason, David Hedison, Michael Parks, George Baker and Jack Watson and a superlative screenplay by Jack Davies. What really makes this film work so successfully is how Jack Davies ... Read More
