Nobody does it better -4 of cinemas greatest spies
We’ve all got our own personal super spy- a name who risks it all for their country, consequences be damned. Here’s the spies you’ll call upon to save the day and have a martini with afterwards.
Bond- James Bond. It just wouldnt be a list of top spies without him would it? With a gorgeous girl on his arm, the best gadgets and tuxedo neatly pressed while saving the world, Bond showed us how to do things with style. Everyone will argue for hours over who was the best Bond, but never whether 007 deserves his legendary status. When we think of Spies we think of him because nobody does it better.
Harry Palmer- Micheal Caine played the Anti Bond. Working on the other side of the world to Bond, Palmers missions were the complete opposite of Bonds- and so was Palmer. While he might not have the charm of 007, he had the drive to get the mission done, and the means to do so.
Austin Powers- the 60s hippest spy, who was frozen only to be defrosted in the late 1990s to fight Dr Evil and his schemes. Powers is a send up of all the great spy movies, with Palmers glasses and Bonds gadgets, but with a charm all of his own. The mission would be successful, but not without a good laugh or twelve on the way. Not only have the movies successfully paid tribute to the spy movies of yesterday, but also given us catchphrases and a world all of its own.
Jason Bourne. It took alot of money and training to make him the best at what he can do, but the Bourne films begin with him close to death and with amensia. While Bond struggled to adapt to the nineties, Bourne slots in perfectly, blending in with the crowd rather than standing out, but not afraid to hijack a car when need called for it. Tracked by the very people who’d trained him, it was their very training that saved him time and again.
