Blu-ray Review - Mystere

M6

Carole Bouquet received a major career boost after appearing in 1981's "For Your Eyes Only," joining the James Bond franchise during its Roger Moore heyday. She became part of film history, but, as with so many "Bond Women," chasing that professional high isn't easy. She returns to screens in 1983's "Mystere" (a.k.a. "Dagger Eyes"), which is kinda, sorta a 007-like cinematic experience from director Carlo Vanzina, who looks to the thrills of secret assassins, chases, and brief globetrotting to bring this tale to life. And it almost works, at least for the first hour, which focuses on Bouquet's screen presence and evildoing, making for a decently nasty thriller. Once Vanzina tries to take the feature elsewhere in the final act, all the intense staring from Bouquet can't keep the movie from basically falling apart. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
