Live and Let Die (James Bond) [Blu-ray] - Region A Blu-ray

James Bond affronte les forces de la magie noire dans cette aventure trÃ(c)pidante qui l’entraÃ(r)ne des rues de New York aux bayous de la Louisiane. Avec son charme, son raffinement et son aplomb redoutable, Roger Moore incarne l’agent 007 pour la toute première fois et combat un puissant trafiquant de drogue (Yaphet Kotto) à la tête d’un complot diabolique visant à conquÃ(c)rir le monde.


Roger Moore was introduced as James Bond in this 1973 action movie featuring secret agent 007. More self-consciously suave and formal than predecessor Sean Connery, he immediately reestablished Bond as an uncomplicated and wooden fellow for the feel-good '70s. This film also marks a deviation from the more character-driven stories of the Connery years, a deliberate shift to plastic action (multiple chases, bravura stunts) that made the franchise more of a comic book or machine. If that's not depressing enough, there's even a good British director on board, Guy Hamilton (Force 10 from Navarone). The story finds Bond taking on an international drug dealer (Yaphet Kotto), and while that may be superficially relevant, it isn't exactly the same as fighting supervillains on the order of Goldfinger. --Tom Keogh
