Review of From Russia with Love (1963) by Baurushan J — 20 Oct 2012
An equally badass sequel to a badass beginning of an unique franchise. This is my review of From Russia With Love. The story is about James Bond who willingly falls into an assassination ploy involving a naive Russian beauty in order to retrieve a Russian Soviet encryption decoding device that was stolen by SPECTRE.
Assigned to the mission of stealing the decoding device are No. 3, former KGB agent Rosa Klebb, and No. 5, Kronsteen, an expert chess player who has plotted every move of the mission. Kronsteen uses Bond's weakness for women to acquire the decoding device and once Bond obtains the device from Russian clerk Tatiana, SPECTRE muscleman Red Grant is to forcibly take it from him and kill him.
But Bond suspects a trap however, he can't resist the lure of a beautiful woman so, flaunting danger, Bond travels to Istanbul to meet Tatiana. A lot of sequels don't measure up to it's previous movie but this one does and Sean Connery owns as James Bond.
From Russia With Love gets a 9.8/10.
