For Your Eyes Only

Movies ・ 1981

It isn't the worst of them all, it isn't the best of them all... it isn't the most complete and compelling story but it doesn't lack good moments and well-done action sequences.  Mr. Moore definitely starts to look on the older side here, but it somehow -works- with the plot (except of course for the fact thar he seduces rather younger women), as he seems not as a daring young cowboy but rather as a wise sheriff.  Still, the plot had more than a few very slow trails, and only a few characters felt tridimensional. It surely catches up in the last act, and the enviroment starts to feel more like a "modern" Bond film, but in the end it ends as a pretty standard-issue double-oh flick. The thing that sorta bothers me the most is that i can't seem to find an unifying theme that both drives the plot and that somehow plays a major role in the naming of the movie. For Your Eyes Only? Well, yeah, a manila folder with the phrase on it and voila. That's it. C'mon. Funny puns here and there, but nothing worth mentioning.
