Editorial Reviews

Roger Moore took a brief vacation from playing James Bond in this witty adventure drama. Rufus Excalibur ffolkes (Moore), who for some reason prefers not to capitalize his last name, is a scuba-diving adventurer for hire with a sharp mind, a quick wit, a fondness for cats, and a certain distrust of women. When terrorist Lou Kramer (Anthony Perkins) takes over an oil drilling platform in the North Sea and threatens to blow it sky high if his demands are not met, ffolkes is called in by Admiral Brinsden (James Mason) to foil Kramer's scheme before it's too late. ffolkes, also released as North Sea Hijack and Assault Force, was based on the novel Esther, Ruth, and Jennifer by Jack Davies, who also penned the screenplay ("Esther, Ruth, and Jennifer," incidentally, are the code names for the ship, drilling rig, and platform seized by Kramer in the film). Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Why was this movie not more popular?by AlaskaStuart

September 26, 2009: This movie has aged quite well, in spite of a mono soundtrack and rather ordinary cinematography. The characters are well-developed and the plot is both believable and unpredictable.

July 29, 2003: Vastly underrated comedy/suspense film with great, tongue-in-cheek performance by Moore and a fine turn as the baddie by Perkins. Suspenseful climax (with a great touch of humor at just the right moment). Moore is just wonderful and seems to be having a ball playing against type. It is a pity the film did poorly upon release, because this would have made a great series. I didn't like him as Bond. This character is all his.
