Roger Moore in a neat little thriller about the plot to manipulate the price of gold buy flooding a South African mine with an underground lake. Moore is the new troubleshooter brought in to run the mine unaware that Bradford Dillman has other plans. This film came out during the disaster craze back in the early 1970's. I remember seeing the TV commercials and wanting to see it because the scenes of the flooding mine made it look like another disaster film. I never saw the film and the film pretty much disappeared before it turned up on bargain DVD. Its a shame that the film isn't better known since its a super little thriller. To be certain the film suffers from the casting of Ray Milland and Dillman who seemed to be playing the exact same roles in everything at the time this was made, but other wise this is a tense little thriller with some good action sequences, good performances and a plot that keeps you watching. Its not the best film ever but it is is one that has been wrongly buried in the discount bin. Definitely worth picking up if you run across it.
