Not having any idea of what this movie was about other than the lead being Charles Bronson, I really enjoyed this film.
The storyline was interesting, the cast solid and there was plenty of action. If nothing else, it captures 1970's USA very well immediately after the Vietnam war.
It is a film in a similar vein to the 1970's Dirty Harry franchise with Bronson's Lou Torres well and truly channeling Clint Eastwood's Harry Callahan.
Being made in 1973, there is plenty of social attitudes & language that would not be able to be portrayed in a film being made today.
A couple of other points of note is a gold class car/motorcycle chase & a very young John Ritter in a minor role.

This movie is virtually impossible to find a review on. I have many, many movie review books and I could not find a single review either under 'Terror Ship' or how it was presented when I viewed it on TV today; 'Dangerous Voyage'.
It is a pleasant time filler that had me guessing throughout. It involves a British brother and sister who run a holiday on boat business and a 'mysterious' American who is interested in purchasing a boat that the brother/sister towed back to harbour with a mystery surrounding it.
Performances are good throughout. It is definitely worth a look.

This is a nice little character study film. A young man recovers consciousness in the boot (trunk in the US) of a sedan and discovers that the driver is a contract killer and he along with a fellow traveler are intended targets; however in the case of the young man, not immediately.
There are many unanswered questions at the films commencement, but pieces fall into place as it progresses. Whether it was deliberate or not, I nice touch was as the film continued and you learnt more about the driver, the more was revealed of him physically.
I imagine it would have cost very little to make this film ; the majority of the film occurs within the car, the cast was small (I think there was a total of 5 actors) and there were negligible special effects.
A distinctly Australian film that I recommend.
