Marco Trevisiol This story of a suave ad exec (Roger Moore) getting caught up in an assassination plot never reaches great heights. As well, the film is blighted by cheap special effects, especially the regular use of obvious rear projection that makes scenes like the death of the chief villain in the action finale laughable instead of captivating.Despite all that, the film is a fun timewaster. This is partly because the film's plot is fast-paced and inventive enough to keep one interested and the location footage of London (when they're not using rear projection) right at the end of the Swinging Sixties is fascinating to see.But the film's main asset is Moore. While he was never perceived as a great actor, he always had plenty of charisma and charm and he utilises that to be a likable roguish hero who helps keep one interested throughout.While no classic, 'Crossplot' is a pleasant diversion and especially interesting to see why the producers of James Bond thought Moore would be a good fit for the role.

rodrig58 Everything is bad in this film, from beginning to end. The music is very annoying, preferably to be seen on mute (like this at least gets a little funnier). The whole scenario is not worth a damn, it has no sense. All the actors are bad. Everything is awkward and intrusive. You want to finish as soon as possible, to look for something better to watch. When I was little, I was somewhat fascinated by Roger Moore in The Saint (it was more because of the musical theme...). As James Bond, he is the least convincing of all the actors who have played it (well, tied with Daniel Craig). Here is downright poop. There's no plot in the movie, it's an annoying waste of time. All those who have written or will write the contrary, they need injections of liquid brain.

RDOwens This really wasn't a good movie.Roger Moore in his pre-James Bond days, one can easily see him taking on Bond here. It is reminiscent of Pierce Brosnan waiting his turn for the role.I've always enjoyed Moore's other roles. He was always charming. He is here too. Unfortunately, the script is weak.There's lots of late-60s hair, fashion, and context here. For that, it is an interesting look back.But if one is seeking high drama, a good caper, or anything particularly intelligent, this is not your movie.

wild-seven Set in 1960's London and full of girls in miniskirts and hip young gunslingers who work in advertising - quicker than you can say 'Hey Swinging London!' this lighthearted romp through the world of Espionage and babes sees Roger Moore's womanising character pursuing a Hungarian model across London not realising that he isn't the only person who wants to find her. Basically an extended episode of 'The Saint' it's fun but not the kind of film you could watch too many times. The main reason I sought it out is to see a post-'Prisoner' acting performance by the late Alexis Kanner and his performance, whilst not demanding of his acting skills, is the most memorable of any of the characters. One to watch when it's shown on television late at night but don't get too excited.
