Nopes - not at all!

This one "needs more, so he gives less..." (from another movie than the one I seek, but a HUGE clue for connaiseurs)

-Theo

James Bond: Dr. No?

Yup - how'd you guess?

-Theo

Actually, my guess was based on your first hint:

beyond wrote:But we're talking about a main character that is just as ruthless, but still a gentleman.

I'm no expert of Bond-movies, so I don't get the 2nd hint.
I guess, it had something to do with women...

So here's the next one:

I have come to dine to celebrate my early release from the service of the state.

Scilence of the Lambs ?

Ronin: I would say James Bond is just as ruthless as Dirty Harry, in terms of being mercyless.

Nope, it's not "Silence of the Lambs"

Beyond, I totally agree. Bond is very ruthless, your description fits perfectly.
Ooops, got the numbers wrong, it was actually your 2nd hint. I don't get the last one.

Ronin: It was from the lyrics from Thunderball, theme song sung by Tom Johnes: "He needs more, so he gives less"

-Theo, bond-nut

Blues Brothers?

Thx, Theo!

Yeah, Blues Brothers is correct!

Now it's your turn, LMan.

Ronin wrote: Yeah, Blues Brothers is correct!

No kidding! Just wrote that on a gut level... later last night I thought "How the hell could I pick Blues Brothers - that must be wrong for sure!" - conclusion: listen to your guts

Okay now for a new quote.

<b>- Any trouble?

- No trouble. Kid stuff.</b>

Yep, it's often helpful to listen to your guts.

Hmmm, about that quote, maybe "Terminator 2: Judgment Day"?

Nope I admit it's another "fits-anywhere" quote. I'll drop further clues later on...

Gut feeling (gotta go with it, I guess, now): Goodfellas?

Nope... close though
