rex W @RT11010153 1d Not nearly enough action to entertain today's movie-goers. See more bruce C @bruce999 Aug 3 suspense nice story. good acting. worth seeing. See more Chris S @Janomi Jul 9 From Russia with Love gives Sean Connery one of his strongest early Bond appearances. He feels fully settled into the role here: suave, amused, dangerous, and ruthless when needed, with a looser confidence than he had in Dr. No. The film also works well as a more grounded spy thriller. The cipher machine plot, double-crosses, surveillance, assassins, and Cold War manipulation give it a serious espionage feel that separates it from the larger, more gadget-heavy Bond films that would follow. Robert Shaw plays Red Grant with patience and controlled menace, making him feel more dangerous than Dr. No did in the previous film. The Orient Express section is the clear highlight, using the confined train setting for deception, suspense, and a brutal Bond/Grant fight. The pacing can feel slow by modern Bond standards, but From Russia with Love is good, stylish, and one of the more focused early entries. See more IAM M @IAM1655 Jun 7 The second installment of the James Bond franchise. In my opinion, this movie is far more better than Dr. No. We meet SPECTRE for the first time, and Robert Shaw is magnificent as Red Grant. His fight with Bond is one of the best fights in the whole series. I didn't really like Tatiana that much, but she isn't one of the worst Bond girls.
