Finally we have Lloyd Bridges who is a friend to Sutherland and his partner when lesser known actors begin turning up dead.

However, several of them turn out to be more interested in the fact that (according to the film) there was a German U-boat base on the island during the Second World War. Joining the expedition via a helicopter is marine biologist Donald Sutherland who, it will transpire, has a link to the island. Not that you had much of a chance to hear it, as his character wound up vanishing early on, before even establishing himself as a possible suspect for the evildoers behind the apparent sabotage of the scientists’ investigation. It was directed by Don Sharp and starred Donald Sutherland, Vanessa Redgrave, Richard Widmark, Christopher Lee and Lloyd Bridges.One of their colleagues already on the island has gone missing (murdered you understand), it will become apparent later that he is a Norwegian intelligence operative. I did think at that point that there was a chance that could end up being the best scene in the film because I don't know how any film could follow a moment like that, it was fabulous. Snell said "He complained of no continuity" with the previous films "but with me he's close to being a partner. Three brothers go to remote Bear Island (Bjørnøya) in the Barents Sea to find the perfect wave; travelling with a surfboard, a snowboard, a paraglider and food found in supermarket trash can. My sister got into this film years ago as its one she would always sit down with our grandparents to watch and about the only "oldie" she would actually sit still during.

it's routine adventure- flick stuff: blood, guts and (a little) suspense intercut with acting of appalling quality, and dialogue that makes one yearn for the days of silent movies. The brothers find their ice-cold waves and precipitous slopes, while we get the chance two join in on the excitement of shredding arctic snow and cruising the ice cold waves. We know Sutherland isn't the bad guy because he is the hero, but his father was a U-Boat captain who died on the island. That film was never made but Snell did go on to make The Hostage Tower and Air Force One is Down based on MacLean stories. The downside of this professionalism is that some viewers might be skeptical that they actually pulled this off.Like most any mystery, guilt will be cast across each character as the tale unfolds letting the viewers play along.

Barely anyone escapes without putting on a silly accent, and Donald Sutherland makes for a compelling lead (like, who knew). Three brothers go to remote Bear Island (Bjørnøya) in the Barents Sea to find the perfect wave; travelling with a surfboard, a snowboard, a paraglider and food found in supermarket trash canisters back home in Norway. The parts focused on personality development aren't too heavy-handed, and the film also succeeds in portraying some pretty tense moments. This time out he’s a man with a hidden past and is on the island to uncover a family secret that involves the missing U-Boat he seeks to find. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.It was just all a bit bizarre and far fetched and I never really cared for any of the characters so never really cared what happened to them. Sutherlands Anmachversuche sind jedoch ziemlich abstrakt und des Krankenschwesters Allheilmittel scheint schwarzer KAFFEE zu sein.

Casualties will soon begin to mount and if one didn’t know any better, you might think Kurt Russell and the cast of The Thing might turn up at any moment due to the arctic isolation and the sabotage being committed upon various life preserving needs such as a generator. MacLean’s first novel garnered him a very large advance (headline news in postwar Britain), but it was a good bet. Radio masts collapse, explosives are used to create deadly avalanches, a generator blows up, but who is the saboteur who seeks the elusive gold?

Bear Island, on loosely based on the great pulp authors work, is a tremendous mix of an action disaster film and a murder mystery. It was a bestseller in the UK, sold for hefty film rights (never made), and it sold millions worldwide. That the actual explanation and bad guys were such a cliché by that stage did little to endear the film to viewers in 1979, but now they come across as staples of the sort of thriller that you can waste time with on the small screen, only with perhaps more novelty thanks to it being a more relatively modern project, and in colour to boot. It was the title of a 1932 film, and presumably was used in WWII, explaining how MacLean would have come across it.
