Movie Reviews of Ffolkes
Movie Review: Different Ffolks
Summary: 3 Stars
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 along at times, though often, has the feeling of different parts being quickly taped together, like in most low budget films. Ffolks is a low budget film, not terrible, though three stars is probably being generous.
Movie Review: Good thriller
Summary: 3 Stars
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. A female prime minister (an obvious stand-in for then premier Margaret Thatcher) congratulates Bond (er, Roger Moore) at the end.Movie Review: One of the worst moderately high budget movies ever
Summary: 2 Stars
I am not in the habit of giving bad reviews, but this one deserves it. Watching the movie made me wonder if Roger Moore was going to actually say "I'm only doing this for the money".
There are better action movies, better thrillers, and better political commentaries.
Catch this some late night on an obscure cable channel, save your money.
