For Your Eyes Only 1981

Once again the Bond series passes off recycled material as a new film, but For Your Eyes Only somehow makes it work. When a covert British naval ship carrying a ballistic missile control system onboard is sunk, Bond is tasked with recovering it before it's found and sold on the black market by mercenaries. The film hits the usual action beats, and they're done pretty well; adding intensity and danger to the film. And, Carole Bouquet's performance is fairly strong (as far as Bond girls go), but the henchmen are nothing special. For Your Eyes Only delivers all the usual Bond tropes, but mixes things up enough to stay adventurous and exciting.
