Movie Reviews of Juggernaut
Movie Review: A thinking man's action picture.
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is somewhat different than its cousin THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE. This one doesn't have any over the top acting or action. It isn't overblown in any campy way. It does have a fantastic all-star cast (Richard Harris, Anthony Hopkins, Shirley Knight, Omar Shariff and Ian Holm to name a few), loads of good dialogue, suspense and honest human emotion. . What happens is a mysterious bomber threatens to detonate a series of bombs aboard a huge luxury liner, the Britannic, unless his demands are met. What follows is tense human drama, as time slowly ticks away while the bomber and his bombs are sought before he can destroy the ship. This is directed by Richard Lester and is one of his best, and ironically, one of his more lesser known films.
Movie Review: Disaster With A Stiff Upper Lip
Summary: 4 Stars
"Juggernaut" is certainly an exciting exercize with more than it's share of thrilling moments. The mostly British cast acquit themselves well probably the best being Richard Harris as an Irish munitions expert. The film is good and competently directed by Richard Lester. My qualm, through no fault of it's own, is that it falls short of classic status. If you go into "Juggernaut" with less than heightened expectations your enjoyment level will be enhanced immeasurably.Movie Review: a good, but not great movie
Summary: 4 Stars
This is my third time seeing this movie, including in the theatre when it came out. and funny to see a 'cruise' ship before Cruising became the mainstream tourist thing it is now. Basically Richard Harris carries the movie on his back and is given ample time to wax poetically with pithy Irish wisdom. Strange to see Anthony Hopkins in a minor supporting role....a good watchable movie though, even the third time around.Movie Review: Great DVD Of A Little Known Gem
Summary: 4 Stars
Those of you wanting to upgrade your old VHS copies of Richard Lester's taut nautical thriller should now do so: MGM has given Juggernaut a sterling DVD transfer, in 1.66:1 widescreen, with good color balance and nary a blemish in sight (ah, the wonders of digital restoration). Hardly any edge enhancement either, as far as I can see. Way to go MGM!
