CONNERY BOND SIX: DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER

1971 rating: ***
This is the grand finale (if you don't consider NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN) for the quintessential James Bond actor Sean Connery, taking on arch nemesis Bloefield who, through surgery, has created a different persona and a few lookalikes. And, so, after a somewhat wooden George Lazenby failed HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE, Sean was back in action... Or more like, reaction...

The cat-lapped villain is smuggling lethal diamonds and Connery, suave, cool, and using another identity, goes from one dangerous situation to the next: figuring things along the way. Although there's too much bombastic gunplay during the last twenty minutes, taking from the rogue charm of the build-up, it all flows from start to finish. And in the next 007 film, LIVE AND LET DIE, a technically older yet younger looking Roger Moore carries on the franchise just fine!
