A Juggernaut of a movie , 2 April 2009
  • Juggernaut
  • Juggernaut on DVD (1974)
    Starring: Richard Harris,  Omar Sharif,  David Hemmings
    Director: Richard Lester
    Certificate: Certificate: PG
    Juggernaut is a great British action film from the 1970's, suspenseful and tense. The atmosphere is deliberately bleak and un-glamorised. Richard Harris and David Hemmings lead crack Royal Navy bomb disposal unit called in to disarm a number of bombs placed on a British liner bound for America - the Captain is played by Omas Sharif.
    Meanwhile detective Anthony Hopkins [whose wife and children are unfortunately aboard the stricken ship] races against time to find the bomber, whilst the head of the cruise line - played by the always superb Ian Holm - is under increasing pressure to pay the ransom money whilst the politicians tell him it is not the way of Her Majesty's Government to give in to terrorists. As time runs out, the tension becomes well nigh unbearable, particularly in the claustraphobic and scary bomb disarming scenes.
    I highly recommend this movie. Question is - why don't we make 'em like this any more?
