Nobody does it better -4 of cinemas greatest spies

We've all got our own personal super-spy-a name that risk everything for their country, the consequences be damned. Here is alook at spies, which helps to keep us safe from evil madmen bent on world domination. 

James Bond, we could not have made this list without him? Always well dressed, with the best gadgets and a beautiful girl on his arm, while saving the day, Bond showed us how to save the world in style. Arguably, that was the best man to play him, but they never questioned the character status as a super spy in the first place. Bond is the person we think of when we hear the word 'spy', and nobody does it better. 

Harrry Palmer anti-Playing Bond was Michael Caine. Working on the other side of the world for Bond, Palmer's missions were the opposite of bonds, and so was Palmer. With glasses and Bonds missing class, but certainly not his ruthlessness, Palmer proved to be a top spy in his own right. 

Austin Powers-The 60's grooviest spy who was frozen and thawed in the '90s to fight against his arch nemises Doctor Evil. A send-up of all the great spy movies and spies, he had Bond gadgets Palmer's glasses, and his own unique charm. The mission will be successful but not without a good laugh or twelve on the road. The film has been cut off after one of their own for Shagadelic super spy, as well as a tribute to the other great spy movies. 

Jason Bourne. It took a lot of money and training to make him the best at what he can do, but Bourne film begins with him close to death and with amensia. Bond had problems adapting to espionage in this new century, but Bourne was working in the crowds and shadows, but also operate in the open when it was absolutley necessary. Attacked by an agency that trained him in the course of three films, Bourne was always one step ahead.
