Three British agents have been murdered and James Bond is sent to New Orleans, to investigate these mysterious deaths. the secretive owner of a small Caribbean islandHe soon senses that there is a drugs link between the notorious Mr. Big, and Dr. Kananga. . Bond must travel deep inside New Orleans, through marshy grass and on water as he completes his mission.
Setting aside an allright speedboat spectacular over land and water, the film is both perfunctory and predictable -- leaving the mind free to wander into the question of its overall taste. Or lack of it.
I can see how many people can be entertained by this ludicrous film, but not because it's good. It features an outstanding performance from Moore and has an enjoyably bad Blaxploitation thing going on here, but not much else.
If you want to see an out of place Bond effort that would have been vastly improved with Shaft or Superfly in the lead role instead of 007, give this a view.
Live and Let Die has been especially well photographed and edited, and it makes clever and extensive use of its good title song, by Paul and Linda McCartney.
