Cinemas favourite spies

All of us have a fav spy -someone we’d call on to save our country in our hour of need. 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? Can always be found with a martini in hand, a beautiful women in the other hand and q’s finest gadgets, 007 always got the job done with style. We will all argue over who is the best actor to play him, but 007′s abilities are never in any question. When we think of Spies, the first person we think of isJames Bond, maybe 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. With glasses and lacking Bonds class, but certainly not his ruthlessness, Palmer proved himself to be a top spy in his own right.

Austin Powers -the 60s number one spy, who was unfroze in the 90s to fight Dr. Evil. A send up of all the great spy movies and spies, he had Bond gadgets, Palmers glasses, and his own unique charm. Powers would always save the day, but not before giving us all a good laugh along the way. The movies has carved out a following of their own for the shagadelic super spy as well as paying tribute to the other great spy movies.

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. Bond didnt adapt greatly to the new millenuim, but Bourne slotted in brilliantly, blending into the crowd to work, but not above acting when the moment called for it. Tracked by the very people who’d trained him, it was their very training that saved him time and again.
