Roger Moore's third outing as James Bond follows the disappearance of several nuclear submarines, belonging to both Russia and the UK. While the nations publically blame each other, Bond is dispatched to find out who really took them, and is paired up with Russia's Agent X. Thing is, there turns out to be history between the two, so will they solve the case before they end up killing each other?
I must say, this is much more like it. Roger Moore effortlessly plays Bond here, and even though the story echoes the earlier You Only Live Twice, everything here is just.... better. The plot is more intricate, the girls beautiful but deadly, and then there's the Lotus Esprit (which of course can become a submarine)...which is by far the coolest Bond car to date. Let's not forget Richard Kiel's Jaws, who is seemingly invincible and is an imposing deadly force, but somehow comical with it. The true definition of the strong silent type, with his metal teeth being what makes him so terrifying, but yet brilliantly is also his downfall.
In fact, the only real issue is the final confrontation is a bit of a let down after all the pure awesomeness that preceeds it, but even so this is easily Moore's best Bond film so far and would probably be in the top 3 up until this point. If somehow you have not seen this yet and you like spy action thrillers, give it a go. Because as the song goes, nobody does it better....
