Sean Connery is most well known as James Bond, but his most underrated performance comes in a dark detective drama.
The Big Picture Sean Connery is obviously best known for his work as 007, but his filmography contains far more than just a secret agent. However, his most underrated movie has strong ties to the Bond franchise, as it was only ever made as part of the price to get him to return as Bond in Diamonds Are Forever. The film is 1973’s The Offence, directed by Sidney Lumet.
Connery Gives a Unique Performance in 'The Offence' Despite the overwhelming shadow of 007 looming over the Scottish legend’s career, he has shown many times he is much more than a suave super spy.
Connery sheds the toupee he wore throughout his Bond films — something he would often do when working with Lumet — and embraced a grimier persona. There is little smooth about Johnson, aside from a few moments when he begins his interrogation of Baxter in a ploy to put the man at ease. These small glimpses serve to highlight the disparity in his character as he snaps.
