A little stingy in the action and thrills department, but Moore, in his limited way, seems to be having a good time.

A group of terrorists hold an offshore drilling rig for ransom in the North Sea, threatening to blow it up if their demands are not met. Wealthy eccentric and counter-terrorist Ffolkes offers to send in his commando unit to stop them. With few other options available, the British Government reluctantly accepts his help.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

The Associated Press by Bob Thomas
Director Andrew McLaglen knows his way around an adventure movie, and he keeps the action moving and the characters larger than life but fairly plausible. [23 Apr 1980]
Washington Post by Gary Arnold
An admirably crisp, incisive counter-terrorist thriller, the most proficient and entertaining movie of its kind since Richard Lester's Juggernaut.
A bit silly really but it has a bizarre mix of a cast and some tension in places.
