(995) A View to a Kill

This is the last movie made by Roger Moore. As in all Bond movies, action is aplenty and we have at least one very beautiful woman.

To think that one person could envision using sea water at pressure to worsen a fault line, adding lots of explosive to cause a huge explosion which would lead to a devastating earth quake, that is truly evil. This is done to level Silicon Valley so that the villain and his cohorts could have a monopoly of the IC market. Enter James Bond to tail him from Paris to San Francisco.

We see palatial buildings supposedly in France. The actual action happened in an underground mine. As in the ultimate villain, all his hired hands were either drown or machined gunned to death. He thought whoever remaining would die in the detonation, but James and his chief assistant moved the detonator far away from the explosives. The aerial combat over the Golden Gate Bridge was very realistic.

I suppose it is difficult to fight against age, in some scenes we can see the lines deeply etched on Moore's face. Not only female has limited shelf  life in the movie industry, men can  only look good for so many years to play the role of 007.
