Goldeneye's Xenia Onatopp, played by Famke Janssen, is a singularly good performance in a Bond film


No, this isn't just my hormones talking. I rewatched Goldeneye last night and was immediately drawn to Xenia. Her introductory scene is fantastic, telling you right away that she's a match for Bond. You later learn that her weapon of choice is sex, and she's damn good at using it.Famke gives an incredibly fun performance, something that feels R-rated in an otherwise PG-13 film. Xenia will act like a wild animal and get off on killing people. Hell, she nearly kills Bond both times she fights him, and he's only saved because of Natalya the second time around.I can't think of the last Bond villain/henchman made my heart jump because of their acting--Famke's snarl/smile is genuinely terrifying, but still you'd go willingly to your doom because she's just that compelling. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/335Pkdw
