Review – Juggernaut

This is nearly two solid hours of cut-the-red-wire-or-the-blue-wire. A terrorist places seven bombs aboard a passenger liner, demanding the sum of £500,000 (which must have seemed like more money in 1974 than it does now) in exchange for not blowing the ship to bits. As military experts struggle to defuse the bombs, authorities back on land search for the culprit. This is one of those movies with a ton of famous and semi-famous actors, with even supporting roles played by familiar faces. Other than the “hey, isn’t that what’s-his-name?” factor, however, this is just a mediocre pot-boiler. Mildly amusing
