      Horatio Black: I must apologize for Benjamin, Mr. Sands. He has a good heart and he's extremely loyal.

      Robert Sands: Well, I'm just thankful that you came along when you did, sport. Thank you.

      Horatio Black: You're welcome. Oh, Mr. Sands, if we ever come into contact with each other again, please don't ever call me 'sport'.

    A total James Bond rip off, but i don't know why is pleasant, watchable and even hypnotic. Good photography and locations.
