| Q-Branch HQ Review: From Russia With Love, the second James Bond movie starring Sean Connery, is a very entertaining movie with a great action and a great plot. Pedro Armendariz acting as Kerim Bey is as good as you can get, however the movie is old and doesn't have very realistic special effects. Q-Branch Rating: B (8.5/10) |
| Movie Summary: The evil SPECTRE organization has hatched a plan to steal a decoder that will access Russian state secrets and irrevocably unbalance the world order. It is up to James Bond to seize the device first, but he must confront enemies that include Red Grant (Robert Shaw) and the ruthless Rosa Klebb (Lotte Lenya), a former KGB agent with poison-tipped shoes. Even as Bond romances a stunning Soviet defector (Daniela Bianchi), he realizes he is being lured into a deadly trap, and he will need all of his courage, abilities and cutting-edge technology to triumph over the forces that seek to destroy him. Dazzling highlights include a riveting helicopter attack, a gypsy camp gun battle, and a bone-crunching brawl aboard the Orient Express. From the streets of Istanbul to the canals of Venice, From Russia With Love delivers slam-bang thrills laced with the humor and sex appeal of Agent 007 himself. Summary from JamesBond.com |
