Roger Moore`s first tour of duty as James Bond sees him up against the dark powers of voodoo in the bulky shape of Yaphet Kotto, while the curvaceous Jane Seymour plays his love interest. There are some splendid action set pieces, notably a speedboat leap that set a new world record, as well as the usual array of hi-tech gadgetry and colourful locations.

For the first hour or so, this 18th Bond movie is up there with the best of them: it has terrific pace, Pierce Brosnan has romantic and rough-house appeal, and the post-Cold War story has grip and plausibility. However the momentum slows in the second half, where the drawn-out action takes over from the story.
