You can say again again

Never Say Never Again (1983)

Directed by Irvin Kershner this unofficial Bond film stars Sean Connery, Kim Basinger, Klaus Brandauer amd Barbara Carrera. When two American nuclear missiles are stolen and NATO held to ransom 007 is put on the case.

Essentially this is a remake of Thunderball (1965) but the script manages to take out all the most impressive actions sequences from the original. Despite having a really good supporting cast and director this film managers to be weaker than the previous version in nearly every respect. Bringing back Connery was probably the only option for the producers going up against Moore in the official franchise but Connery is clearly showing his age here.


3/5
