No Time to Die (2021)
Country: GB/US
Technical: col/2.39:1 163m
Director: Cary Joji Fukunaga
Cast: Daniel Craig, Léa Seydoux, Rami Malek, Jeffrey Wright, Ana de Armas, Lashana Lynch, Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris
Synopsis:
Bond and Madeleine's idyll is broken by an enemy from their past, but they are brought back together when an MI6 covert operation is hijacked by a personage from even further back in Madeleine's.
Review:
Confusingly plotted and uncommonly long final chapter in the Craig cycle, the latter marked by consistently high quality standards and greater linkage between entries than previously the case. This intricacy in the storytelling is epitomised by a double pre-credit that establishes the double villainy in a film of doubles (double agent, double 007, double mother and child). It never loses its grip, nods to past glories (particularly On Her Majesty's Secret Service), and reminds us that in Craig we have a Bond we shall all miss.
