As Bond tries to unravel the mastermind's plan, he meets Solitaire (Jane Seymour), the beautiful Tarot card reader whose magical gifts are crucial to the crime lord. Bond, of course, works his own magic on her, and the stage is set for a series of pulse-pounding action sequences involving voodoo, hungry crocodiles, and turbo-charged speedboats.
Critic Reviews:
- " There are some splendid action sequences, notably a speedboat leap that set a new world record, as well as the usual array of hi-tech gadgetry. " – Tom Hutchinson
- " So-so '70s Bond entry has sex, drugs, action violence. " – Jeffrey M. Anderson
- " Theme song by Paul McCartney is best part, but this is also one of Moore's best Bonds. " – Steve Crum
