Written
by Maibaum with Christopher Wood and directed by "Twice"'s Lewis Gilbert-put
Bond back in form. Essentially, this is a very polished formula picture-replete
with recycled material-that secured itself a strong, new following for the Moore
films. While the Bond Pre-title sequences had always been designed as clever
attention grabbers, the audience-pleasing ski-jump stunt that opens this movie
set a new standard that each subsequent film would struggle to measure up to.
The action sequences in "Spy" are slicker than those in the previous two such as
the big chase involving a sleek Lotus Esprit, which ditches an enemy helicopter
by plunging into the sea, where it converts into an armed sub.
