Goldfinger (1964)
9/10
A Golden Hit
26 March 2019
Goldfinger, the third movie in the James Bond film franchise, is known as the film that set up blueprint for its future installments. James Bond is called from vacation in Miami Beach to investigate the gold magnate Auric Goldfinger, and find out how he does it by smuggling it to another country. After socializing with him, he spies on him and finds out about Operation Grand Slam, he has to stop Goldfinger and his razor hat-throwing manservant, Oddjob, from rendering the gold in Fort Knox useless via the use of a dirty bomb.

Once again, Sean Connery does a great job as 007. Auric Goldfinger, played by the late Gert Frobe, gives an incredible performance, and Harold Sakata plays Oddjob real good. The film does have some iconic scenes (like the scene where James is strapped to the table where Goldfinger tries to use his industrial laser to cut him in half), and the movie is well known for establishing the formula its sequels follow.
