4/10
Mediocre, if painless

Warning: Spoilers
"The Golden Lady" had the potential to be better than it is: sort of an R-rated, politically-conscious "Charlie's Angels", except that the girls are 4 not 3, and they're not even necessarily "good" - they're just industrial spies-for-hire who offer their services to the highest bidder, no matter what country he comes from. Unfortunately, paceless direction (check out that overlong disco number in the middle) and a jumbled script prevent the movie from realizing that potential. The women are pretty good-looking, but they're not given much of a personality - in fact, you'll struggle to even remember their names. The most memorable scene in the movie is a cameo by Desmond "Q" Llewelyn! *1/2 out of 4.
