In this outing, the renowned British double agent must locate a weapons system known as ATAC, which controls Great Britain's submarines, after it is sunk on a ship in the Ionian Sea.

  • A great entry to the Bond series

    For Your Eyes Only is actually my second-favourite Bond film, although I still maintain that 'The Spy Who Loved Me' is the best of the Roger Moore era films. Even though it is my second-favourite Bond movie there are still a few seriously terrible bits, notably the pre-title sequence, the final scenes with a ridiculous Mrs Thatcher impersonation and a parrot, a rather disco-y soundtrack and a quite forgettable theme tune sung by Sheena Easton (who is the only singer to date to actually appear on screen during the title credits.....why though is still a mystery). Over-look those however, and the rest of the film is terrific. Bond is essentially back to basics, and uses his wits and skill throughout the film rather than relying on Q's gadgets. Following the murder of marine archaeologist Timothy Havelock, who was hired by MI6 to locate the ATAC machine from a sunken British spy ship, Bond is assigned to discover who killed him and to retrieve the ATAC before it falls into the hands of the Russians. There's a couple of stand-out chase scenes, following Bond's gadget laden Lotus being destroyed, he's left to take the wheel of a Citroen 2CV for the car chase, and the later ski chase is pretty fast-paced too. While we still get the occasional trademark Moore quips these are dramatically toned down and there is a much more serious and edgier performance, this is especially highlighted in a brilliant scene which sees the villain’s henchman in his car hanging precariously on the edge of a cliff, and Bond vengefully and cold-bloodedly kick the car over the edge (this was followed by a quip, but it marked a brutal change in Moore's portrayal of Bond for this film). Stunning French actress Carole Bouquet plays Melina Havelock, a strong willed woman who is out for revenge following the death of her parents. Learning that her parents are connected in the mission Bond is assigned to, she teams up with Bond to avenge her parents’ death and help him locate the ATAC device. As for the villain, well the film does not establish a clear villain until some way into its running time. Initially we are led to believe that Milos Columbo (played by Topol), the pistachio chomping former partner of Aristotle Kristatos is the man behind the death of the Havelocks however it turns out to be misinformation as Kristatos is in fact the man behind the killings and has been working with the KGB to obtain the ATAC system. Kristatos is portrayed brilliantly, and much more low-key than previous 'world-dominating' wannabe villains of previous films, by Julian Glover. With great locations including Corfu and Cortina D'Ampezzo in Italy, For Your Eyes Only is a satisfying and thrilling entry in the series.
