Review of Diamonds Are Forever (1971) by Barney O — 28 Mar 2016
WHAT I LIKED: It's great to see Sean Connery return, and there are certainly mysteries and action here to engage.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: Connery hasn't got the sparkle of before. So with the lead slightly behind, the rest of the film follows even further back. Really, there's little excitement, the plot is confusing, and some of the acting is poor. It's just not all that exciting. It'll be straining your attention 1 hour in.
VERDICT: I really wouldn't bother watching this. Sean Connery might return, but not to form. And the whole film follows suit.
