Roger Moore debuts as 007 in this diverting and jazzy Bond adventure which sees the indestructible agent battle against a ruthless drug baron who intends to get the world hooked on heroin.  One of the more realistic set-ups in the series. though there’s still plenty of the usual outrageous action, smart one-liners, gorgeous girls and cool gadgetry at hand. A handful of memorable moments and an interesting dive into the world of voodoo help make this a healthy addition to the series.
