For Your Eyes Only
(1981)
Directed by John Glen
this is the 12th film in the Bond franchise and stars
Roger Moore, Julian Glover, Carole Bouquet and Chaim Topol. After a
secret British communications devise is lost off the coast of Greece
Bond is called in to investigate.
This is a strange
entry in the series in that it is pretty forgettable but more down to
earth and sensible than some of the other films. Some of the actions
sequences are a little long, without real story points driving them
and the pre-title sequence is completely out of place which is
strange given how willing the series has been to jettison stuff from
the books in the past. Overall this is a much more grounded effort
than it's predecessor and even has something approaching a dramatic
theme which is vastly unusual in the series but still manages to be
unremarkable.
3/5
