Who says Roger Moore can't Act?
by loza-12005-05-20
6/10

"It has often been said that Roger Moore can't act - that all he can do is raise his eyebrows a few inches. This film refutes this notion. Here we see Roger Moore in an unusual role...for anyone, not just him. A group of hijackers take over an oil rig. The owners have no choice but to call in an SAS-style group of mercenaries under the command of Roger Moore's character - an eccentric woman hating cat lover named ffolkes (with two small fs), who lives in a Scottish castle. The plot is pretty formulaic and predictable. What makes this film watchable is Roger Moore's character. ..."

💡 Did You Know?

In his autobiography, Sir Roger Moore wrote that at one point, the crew tried to sedate several of the lively cats that belonged to his character, without actor and cat lover James Mason discovering the scheme.
