I was probably too young to really appreciate "For Your Eyes Only" on its original theatrical release. 39 years later and I've realised this is a slice of classic Bond.
The funky disco-esque Bond soundtrack from Bill Conti dates the music, as does the brief appearance from Janet Brown as the Prime Minister at the time, Margaret Thatcher. However, the rest of the movie is as gripping now as it was back in 1981.
The cliff assault is absolutely riveting and guaranteed to give vertigo sufferers a few nightmares.
Moore himself, 53 years old when he made this film, is excellent as always. Retaining his boyish good looks, he is on top form here.
9 out of 10. Back to the original Bond formula, this is a very strong movie.
