Best of all is the humor which is knowing and right on target, as when ffolkes becomes flustered when trying to warm up what he thinks is a young man . This ironic statement is explained in the novel Esther Ruth and Jennifer by Jack Davies, in Chapter 1. Too bad, because it's a well-made film which generates tension, has an unusual setting in the cold, stormy waters of the North Sea, and has some fine actors. Ffolks is a misogynistic man who dislike of women due to a failed marriage and having several sisters as opposed to being a ladies man; being moody, cranky and cantankerous .The best thing about this film is Roger Moore's main character, the misogynistic cat lover Rufus Excalibur ffolkes.

When it premiered on American network television it was retitled yet again, this time to Assault Force.The only quibbles that I had with this movie is that it's miniatures stand out more on the small screen than on the big-screen. It is the kind of film you discover by accident (it doesn't have a particularly high reputation), but by God it really moves and is enormous fun whilst on. Most of all, the movie depends on Roger Moore, and he delivers a dynamic and amusing performance of a man of action who'd be much happier in an earlier age. Not as energetic as "Golden Rendezvous", "The Wild Geese" or others of the ilk, Moore takes a brief departure from his usual womanising persona, as an arrogant and self-professed misogynist who suits himself; only the smug, self-serving nature is retained from his better known alter ego.
