Sean Connery is back as James Bond. 1963. Director: Terence Young.
M (Bernard Lee) says to Bond (Sean Connery) to go to Istanbul to get a machine called LECTOR which MI6 wants and needs. In Istanbul, he will meet his contact, Tatiana Romonova (Daniela Bianchi) who'll help him get the LECTOR, and in return he will help her to the west.
But what Bond and MI6 doesn't know is that SPECTRE, an evil organisation, has "employed" a killer called Red Grant (Robert Shaw) who follows Bond without him nowing it. With a map of the house where the LECTOR is kept, Bond and his local helper Kerim Bay (Pedro Armendáriz) makes a plot of how they will get the LECTOR and then bring it to London.
But with the dangerous Rosa Klebb (Lotte Lenya) and her henchmen, it isn't going to be so easy as Bond first thought. Especially not when Tatiana seems to be a double agent, working for SPECTRE but wanting to escape. Can she be trusted?
This is for many the best Bond film ever made, but I'm not of those people. It's really good, but in some parts a bit slow. Sean Connery is really good, but I just don't like the location and such. Not as exotic as usual. So; a bit slower, but still good. Robert Shaw is really good as the heartless killer Grant.
They mostly talk in too many scenes, which makes it slower. There's not that many scenes with action. The boat chase is pretty good, but unfortunately there's not enough of that, action.
