Anthony Hopkins, Caroline Mortimer, Clifton James

One of director Richard Lester's least-known films, Juggernaut was part of the wave of disaster movies of the early 1970s--and one of the only ones with a sense of intelligence. Richard Harris,...( read more  read more... ) in one of his most controlled performances, plays a bomb expert called aboard a luxury liner in midocean; the ship has been commandeered by an anonymous terrorist, demanding money before he starts setting off bombs he has planted around the vessel. The cast, which includes David Hemmings, Anthony Hopkins, and Omar Sharif, is a solid one, and the suspense is thick enough to cut through, with Lester's nasty sense of humor working at full throttle as the countdown gets into the single digits. --Marshall Fine

    I did find Juggrtnaut slow paced, and not to have a lot of character development. However, its always a pleasure to see Richard Harris who plays a bomb expert who is brought on board to save an ocean liner.

    My mum's in it! She's an extra, you can see her wobble across the floor in the ballroom scene! Apart from that it's pretty ho-hum, although Richard Harris and David Hemmings lend it a bit of class.
