This Bond BLEEDS- move over Sean Connery!!! Major thumbs up!

Rating: 9/10 (14 December 2006)

Sean Connery WAS the only Bond. This man is an accurate and stunning representation of the early Bond- very much in line with the original BOOK - gasp he said book- those things make my head hurt!!- but updated for this century as well.
The leading lady, while far from sumptuous at the Bond Girl level of her predecessors is still interestingly hot in her own way. Nice eyes, strange boobs.
The obsession with strange unflattering boobs continues with her counterpart on the villain side, a stunning Arabic looking hottie with a really lame dress that destroys her sexuality continually.
Ah yes- the plot.. Well- this is an early 007 when he has just started, he's not as sure of himself, and sometimes a murder is rather prolonged and emotional because of his inexperience in the spycraft.
This movie is one of the most realistic spy movies I have seen in that it forces the character to take advantage of his surroundings, improvise, lie freely, and coldly socially engineer when necessary- all in all, a very sexy movie. He often scrapes by with barely making it through a situation.
This Bond occasionally bleeds and fails and then comes back meaner than any Bond you have ever seen. When this guy plays for real RUN!! Top Marks go to not being too Hollywood, and being brave enough to play it like this with Bond and still come out shining like the sun. Everything in this movie feels real and tense and deadly like sleeping in the same sleeping bag as a cobra.
Highly recommended.
PLOT: A high stakes game of hold-um for 10 million is the climax of a number of different deadly males colliding in a game of spy vs afrikan arms dealers in a situation where no one is to be trusted and every moment could be your last.
