Movie Reviews

User Review - 10/10 by Pierluigi PRoger Moore is stunning in this. Anyone who judges him solely on those lazy Bond performances should give this a whirl. It's an intriguing and fascinating story too.
User Review - 10/10 by Private USuperb. Sir Roger plays a baddy and a goody, depending on which Pelham he is being. Great car chases and of course Sir Roger always gets the girl. Lots of eyebrow acting for eyebrow fans.
User Review - 10/10 by Miguel SRoger Moore is stunning in this. Anyone who judges him solely on those lazy Bond performances should give this a whirl. It's an intriguing and fascinating story too.
User Review - 10/10 by Rob SProbably Roger Moore' best dramatic role. An absolutely brilliant slice of 1970's British horror.
User Review - 8/10 by Stuart KAfter he left The Saint, but before The Persuaders! and James Bond. Roger Moore went for this paranoid thriller directed by Basil Dearden (The Smallest Show on Earth (1957), The League of Gentlemen (1960) and The Assassination Bureau (1969)), based on The Strange Case of Mr Pelham by Anthony Armstrong. It's one of the best thrillers of the early 1970's, and it shows what a good actor Moore can be with the right material. One day, while driving home from work, Harold Pelham (Moore) has an out of body experience, which causes him to crash his car. While on the operating table, he briefly dies, but he comes back to life and two heartbeats are shown on the monitor, which is put down to a glitch. It turns out to be more than a glitch when Harold returns to work, and he discovers a merger he once opposed before his crash has gone ahead, now approved by him. His wife Eve (Hildegarde Neil) claims to have seen Harold places he never was, and he's apparantly having an affair with Julie Anderson (Olga Georges-Picot), which he isn't, all this drives him to insanity. It's a good paranoid thriller with Moore going from posh businessman to disheveled paranoid in the space of a few minutes, and one moment of movie magic beats Dead Ringers (1988) by 18 years. Moore gives a great performance, with support from Anton Rodgers, Thorley Walters and Freddie Jones.
User Review - 8/10 by Harry VA strong departure for Sir Roger Moore after 'The Saint' and just before 'The Persuaders' and a few years before James Bond. From the school of Alfred Hitchcock, Moore gives an excellent performance as Pelham, the man who lives a rather conservative life with his stable job, wife and kids. He experiences an urge to take risks in life and becomes involved in a bizarre accident, where an alter-ego of himself starts haunting and intruding his personal life. Is this alter-ego a different person or just a manifestation and figment of his twisted imagination? I really enjoyed the stylings and themes of this feature which reminded me of retro 'Twillight Zone' and 'Outer Limits' TV episodes, of which I am a huge fan! Moore can play both a good guy and a villain. I wish that I saw more of him playing the villain, as he was certainly having fun with his part there... I was also enjoyed of an old 'Star Trek' episode in which William Shatner had to fight his evil self. Recommended for both fans of Moore and non-fans! Perhaps Moore's most mature effort outside of his classic standards!
User Review - 8/10 by John DSchizophrenic with a capital *S*. One of Roger Moore's finest roles sees him juggle with the eerie supernatural aftermath of an accident, and the earthly reality of his family life falling to pieces in its wake. Like many action hero types who meekly allow themselves to become typecast, Moore shows his true measure with a plot that leaves much to the imagination while equally managing to hold its place firmly above the chilling mystery. Michael Lewis's lonely wistful theme probes into the vast and impersonal shots of consumerist London, a breeding ground for the (probably) Tory voting Pelham, ingredients which in the final scheme of things, makes Moore's achievement of winning the audience's empathy an even greater achievement. Serious respect to Roger Moore for this one, it's a real pity he so often settled for second best when it came to choosing employment, as here he proves his abillities stretched beyond getting clobbered across the head every split second, via some hyperactive eyebrows.
User Review - 8/10 by Colin FA really Interesting idea and a great film. Proper 70s with a dodgy soundtrack but still a great and unique film where after a car accident Roger Moore becomes two people one good one evil. Really liked it.
User Review - 8/10 by Edgar Ca fine film for roger more, just before i think, he became james bond, after a crash, he gets fit again, and goes about his business, working for a leading london company, which are going undercsome espianage problems, who is the cause, but it turns out, he has been seen all ovev town, hanging out in snooker halls, doing business deals and so on, problem is he cant recall any of this, but everyone is convinced, he is who he is, what is happening to him, is there a double, going about town, doing things on his behalf, or is he going abit crazy, a very british stiff upper lip 60s setting adding to look, and roger moore comes off very well here, not a great acting talent as seen in bond, but, he he manages to bring you into his charactor, his confusion as to whats happening, is dealt well with, lighthearted also, msterious, and does keep you guessing to end, not action packed just a solid mystery throughout
User Review - 8/10 by Stephen CParts of Basil Deardens final film have of course dated badly especially the films score which screams of Austin Powers. But if you can look past the creaking parts of the film, what you get is a rather neat thriller with a great central performance from Roger Moore. Moore plays Harold Pelham a sharp suited businessmen who while driving home wildly after work has a serious accident. At first everything seems normal as Pelham makes a full recovery and sets about trying to repair his rocky marriage. But why do his friends say they saw him at his club playing snookerwhen he was on Holiday with his wife? Who is the person wrecking his business activities and having an affair with a beautiful young woman? Is Pelham going mad ? or is there really a double of him carrying out the fantasies he can only dream of. Dearden plays a good hand here and allows Moore to really show his acting chops as a man who may end up having a complete mental breakdown if he dosent uncover the truth. The film also contains a corking turn from Freddie Jones as a shrink who may or may not believe anything Pelham has imagined. This really is a cracking thriller and it also put paid to the myth that Moore wasnt a good actor as he really is superb here .
