3.0 out of 5 stars Hokum - but fun taken with a dollop of salt, 12 Sep 2009
By Mr. Stephen Kennedy "skenn1701a" (Doha, Qatar) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Leave your brains at the door, and bring out the popcorn to have a chuckle at this dated but still fun thriller. Well, let's face it - it's a comedy thriller. Thriller ingredients are all there - an oil platform has been booby trapped and ransom demanded by a sinister terrorist (back when terrorists were just out to get money and there was no need to explain any political agenda..). The government can't risk a naval assault, Admiral James Mason explains.. and so the eccentric Scottish Laird and his private band of ex service men who do odd jobs for Lloyds are brought in to save the day. The thrills are so-so, the production obviously limited in budget to just a few sets, the bridge of the boat and the main office of the platform mostly. The photography is uninteresting and even verging on overexposed.. but what makes this so much fun is Moore, clearly having a ball deconstructing his Bond persona playing the oddball, women hating, cat-loving, whisky guzzling Ffolkes. Perkins is straight forwardly convincing as the hijacker, James Mason says his lines like he is supposed to, and David Hedison takes a break from playing Felix in the Bond movies to fill in here as the Manager of the platform.
Ok, it's nothing special.. there's a distinct lack in this release of any extras or something luxurious such as picture remastering or sound upgrade from the original stereo soundtrack. Basically it shouldn't keep you from anything better you have to do - but it earns its 3 stars in entertainment factor in the joy of seeing Moore having so much fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant - Roger Moore at his Best, 10 Sep 2003
By Caroline Green "Movie Addict" (Randburg, South Africa) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What an amazing Movie! Roger Moore plays, unusually, a woman hating, cat loving, commando who is asked by the government to rescue an oilrig and supply ship from terrorists.

I first saw this movie in the mid 1980's on TV in the UK and recorded it! My family were all delighted, as was I, when I discovered that it was available on DVD. (The DVD comes with next to no features, but I thought that the movie alone was worth it!)
I will watch this one many times, and not tire of it. The wit and humour is clever and there is plenty of action too. There is no sex, language or unnecessary violence, which is unusual these days!

I heartily recommend this one, whether you are a Roger Moore fan or not!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for Sunday afternoons., 26 Jul 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: North Sea Hijack [VHS] [1979] (VHS Tape)
A wonderful Sunday afternoon film - the sort of film that requires no significant concentration but is hightly entertaining. The cast is strong with Moore's eyebrows being supported by Anthony Perkins and James Mason amongst others. The story is improbable, the acting is totally over the top but the film is very enjoyable!

Not too bad. Probably one of Roger Moore's better films (Wild Geese is a favourite). Story line is OK and to a degree believable. An enjoyable afternoons watching.
