Live and Let Die has Roger Moore taking up the role of James Bond for the first time. This time, instead of taking on the Cold War and SPECTRE, he travels to America and once again joins up with the CIA (and his old friend Felix, played by David Hedison) to find out why three British agents have gone missing.

Bond's first stop is Harlem where he meets up with a notorious drug dealer known only as Mr. Big. But his travels don't stop there as he heads down south to New Orleans and a small Caribbean island to find Big's partner and a woman under his care known as Solitaire (Jane Seymour), who is forced to read tarot cards for the drug dealers.

Bond's adventure uncovers a dastardly drug plot that will culminate in a boat chase through the Louisiana bayous in a sequence that, quite frankly, left me quite insulted. When the movie introduces a local yokel sheriff, I couldn't believe my eyes. Now, the state police and other people from the area actually seemed to fit. But this character seemed to be more a stereotypical hillbilly cop (think Boss-Hog) type instead of a stereotypical southern Louisiana cop (which would have at least made more sense).

Like the rest of these Bond Blu-ray releases, this disc has quite a few special features. An interactive guide to the world of Live and Let Die, a featurette from 1964 about Roger Moore as James Bond, commentary with Roger Moore, Director Guy Hamilton and the screenwriter as well as a slew of trailers, photos and TV spots. One of the more interesting features I found were the documentaries that were from that time like "On Set with Roger Moore." This is definitely a great purchase for any collectors out there, especially considering the image and audio quality that comes with the Blu-ray.
