About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a classic, straightforward spy adventure with glamour, suspense, and a touch of irony; Not for you if you need nonstop action, modern pacing, or a deeply developed villain like in The Day of the Jackal.

Pros: iconic franchise kickoff; suave lead charisma; brisk spy intrigue | Cons: some dated moments; villain underused; action fairly restrained
