︻デ═一A View to a Kill isn't a good film...it's a FUN film. would an undercover agent use his real name while on assignment? no. would said undercover also not use any sort of disguise? of course a real undercover secret agent would change his name and appearance. but not James Bond, because it's freakin James Bond.
Christopher Walker is outstanding as the bond villain who doesn't quite understand the concept of killing your mark when you have him right in front of you. in quintessential Bond villain fashion, Walken devises roundabout booby traps that act as an obstacle course rather than a fatal action.
Grace Jones is a nice touch as Walken's muscle.
it's all very 80s, very over-the-top ridiculous, and thoroughly enjoyable. pulp fun at its Hollywood James Bond best. i can watch this offering over and over. RIP Roger Moore, a gentleman and a true artist.
