This Bond Film brings James Bond 007 to Las Vegas, following some Diamonds that where heisted Sean Connery (007) arrives in Las Vegas and uncovers a much deeper plot. Number 7 in the Bond installments Lucky 7 I guess right? Well not so, some of the reviews rate Sean Connery as “Old Looking” in this film, it still not with out its Bond-ish charm.

   I loved this film for the simple fact you get some glimpse into how the “old school” Las Vegas Strip used to look. I mean even in the elevator cut screen Bond is on the external elevator of the now demolished Landmark Hotel and Casino. The chase scenes in the movie speed past some legendary casinos: Golden Nugget, Horseshoe, from the old Las Vegas when you could actually walk across the street at the stop lights. Now everything is above the strip level.

   Overall I enjoyed this film and would watch them all once a year, I haven’t had time recently but this one brings back some memories on the old Las Vegas. One thing I always loved about the Bond Series is the clever names Ian used for his Bond girls here is a quote from the trailer:

Plenty: Hi, I’m Plenty.
Bond: But, of course you are.
Plenty: Plenty O’ Toole.
Bond: Named after your father, perhaps.

Anyways here is a link to the trailer if you would like to preview it.
