Critics Consensus

The second James Bond film, From Russia with Love is a razor-sharp, briskly-paced Cold War thriller that features several electrifying action scenes.

It unfolds like a profoundly “old-fashioned” spy story, with a conspicuous Cold War milieu, a Soviet cryptography device reminiscent of the Enigma machine and, best of all, an extended sequence set aboard the Orient Express.

A highly immoral film in every imaginable way but it sure is fun...

The film lacks the exotic, colourful flamboyance of the best of its successors. So shoot me.

The Cold War story is utterly fun even if the action is on the cheesy side.

A-

It is the mix of cliches, interesting stories, good action, and pure charisma that all blend together in a way that defined a genre that would never be the same after.

3.5/4

Sean Connery's favorite Bond movie is based on John F. Kennedy's favorite Bond book, and who are we to argue with their tastes?

A very good balance of silly material (the girl fight in the camp) and serious tension (just about everything on the train). Lotte Lenya and Robert Shaw are a great pair of villains.

James Bond a distanza di un anno abbandona gli esotici caraibi per muoversi in una grande metropoli, sempre più a stretto contatto con la guerra fredda e con i complotti politici. Molto buona, oltre alla distinzione di location, anche quella relativa al villain, questa volta ben visibile e centrale fin dall'inizio. Sceneggiatura piena di dettagli ed il solito inimitabile Bond. Forse manca un po' di drammaticità nel racconto, che rimane sornione da quel punto di vista esattamente come il suo predecessore. Film di altissima qualità ancora gradevoli dopo oltre 50 anni.

🎬 **Crítica | Moscou Contra 007 (From Russia with Love, 1963)** **Ano:** 1963 | **Duração:** 115 minutos **Gêneros:** Espionagem • Suspense • Aventura **Elenco principal:** * **Sean Connery** como *James Bond* — mais confiante e confortável no papel do agente 007 * **Daniela Bianchi** como *Tatiana Romanova* — a enigmática Bond Girl envolvida no jogo político * **Lotte Lenya** como *Rosa Klebb* — agente fria da **SPECTRE** * **Robert Shaw** como *Red Grant* — o assassino implacável 🎞️ **Enredo & História** Em *Moscou Contra 007*, Bond volta a enfrentar a organização **SPECTRE**, agora manipulando as tensões da Guerra Fria entre EUA e URSS para provocar um conflito de proporções globais. A ameaça política é maior, mas o tom do filme é curiosamente mais leve e contido que o anterior. A narrativa aposta mais em espionagem e jogos psicológicos do que em grandes cenas de ação. ⭐ **Nota:** **5 / 10**

Get to see the hierarchy of SPECTRE in this one. The locations of film are really scenic. Good to see Robert Shaw and Sean Connery banter and fight.
