Juggernaut By Marshall Fine
One of director Richard Lester's least-known films, Juggernaut
was part of the wave of disaster movies
of the early Super70s--and one of the only ones with a sense of
intelligence. Richard Harris, in one of his most controlled performances,
plays a bomb expert called aboard a luxury liner in midocean; the ship has
been commandeered by an anonymous terrorist, demanding money before he
starts setting off bombs he has planted around the vessel. The cast, which
includes David Hemmings, Anthony Hopkins, and Omar Sharif, is a solid one,
and the suspense is thick enough to cut through, with Lester's nasty sense
of humor working at full throttle as the countdown gets into the single
digits.

"I remember the first time I saw "Terreur sur le Britannic" when I was a child, and nevertheless I don't own the tape, I never miss that movie every time it's broadcasted on French TV. The suspens is good enough to stick the audience on its chair, and the actors play perfectly. I great movie that probably couldn't support a remake. . ." --dangeax |
