For Your Eyes Only (1981) Reviews

For Your Eyes Only in my opinion is the best of the Roger Moore James Bond pictures. Unfortunately it has the lamest opening of any Bond movie. Afterwards we get a realistic plot line that is more down to earth than his previous pictures. He is simply trying to recover a lost British device that controls Britain's submarine force before the criminal element can sell it to the Russians. He is not equipped with any tricky gadgets. Great music and great locals like Cortina d'Ampezzo and Corfu really sounded and looked good in the Blu-ray version of the film. The villains were simply crooks instead of mega-manics and Carole Bouquet was a beautiful Bond girl. Cassandra Harris played the role of Countess Lisl von Schlaf. This actress was the wife of Pierce Brosnan who would play the role of James Bond in a few subsequent pictures. There were some great stunts throughout the picture including the yellow car chase scene. This was a good one. 3-1-2009
