Title : A View To A Kill
Genre : Action, Adventure
Label : MGM/UA Home Entertainment International
Catalog No : MGM2036
Cast : Roger Moore, Christopher Walken, Director: John Glen
(II)
Synopsis : Roger Moore's last outing as James Bond is evidence
enough that it was time to pass the torch to another actor. Beset by crummy
action (an out-of-control fire engine?) and featuring a fading Moore still trying
to prop up his mannered idea of style, the film is largely interesting for Christopher
Walken's quirky performance as a sort-of supervillain who wants to take out
California's Silicon Valley. Grace Jones has a spookily interesting presence
as a lethal associate of Walken's (and who, in the best Bond tradition, has
sex with 007 before trying to kill him later), and Patrick Macnee (Steed!) has
a warm if brief bit. Even directed by John Glen, who brought some crackle to
the Moore years in the Bond franchise, this is a very slight effort.
