Director Richard Lester was much more at home with those cheeky Beatles movies, but he does his best with this solemn thriller about a luxury liner threatened by a mad bomber. It's the superb editing that carries the day, creating the required amount of tension. Unfortunately, female lead Shirley Knight is given little to do, existing simply as a romantic footnote to Omar Sharif's libido, and in the male-heavy cast, Richard Harris, David Hemmings and Anthony Hopkins provide the brains and brawn to save some pretty vacuous lives.

A Forgotten Gem
This is one of those films that as soon as you start to watch it, you will instantly be whisked back in a flurry of nostalgia to the days o being able to stay up on a saturday night, and just after match of the day on bbc1, there was always a film. This was such a film, with a superb cast,it is a taut and well directed thriller with touches of typically british humour thrown in for good measure. This suprises the viewer throughout through the sheer quality of material and above all, the convincing performances from the leads. All in all, a bit dated, but well worth looking at.

What a corker!!!
Really good action thriller!! One of the best of a whole spate of terroist movies done during the 1970s. The ever excellent Harris and seedy and cowardly Omar Sherif are both good, with even David Hemmings doing well in support. A calidascope of British stars with Ian Holm and Tony Hopkins keeping every one of the lesser roles well filled out. Tense and fast paced with decent pithy lines, its a lost gem that deserves a second look.
