Roger Moore makes his the final appearance as the Secret Service Agent, James Bond in a VIEW TO A KILL. Her Majesty's Secret Service sends Bond to stop Madcap computer industrialist Max Zorin (Christopher Walken) from triggering a massive earthquake in silicon valley and annihilating the global computer market. With the help of geoligist Stacey Sutton (Tanya Roberts), Bond must contend with May Day (Grace Jones) and Zorin's endless supply of henchmen as he jet sets from Paris to San Francisco leaving a trail of empty martini glasses and broken Q-gadgets behind him. In the 14th installment of the 007 series, director John Glen delivers an unforgettable and dazzling farewell vehicle for actor Roger Moore. Packed full of sex pot debutantes, whizz bang gadgetry and cliffhanger action sequences, VIEW TO A KILL is an unforgettable roller coaster ride. [More]

The aging Roger Moore rehashes his somewhat foppish Bond in this sad '80s installment with Grace Jones as a vampish villainess. Awful, and an embarrassment to the Bond mystique.

Roger Moore's final Bond film is a solidly entertaining entry in the series.

Moore's tryst with Grace Jones is, on the one hand, a well-intentioned attempt to tear down the Bond-girl color barrier, and, on the other, a rather disturbing image.

Moore's final Bond picture is one too late. Walken is a fine villian, though.

Registers as another high-flying James Bond adventure story.

In this 007 film, former real man James Bond not only eats quiche, he literally bakes it.

Moore should have bowed out after the superb "Octopussy", but this is still a pretty good time at the movies.

Fun but truly silly James Bond movie. Some good action - the firetruck, the horse race, etc. - but be ready for over the top villains.
