A Bond film for people who don't really like Bond films...

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2010)

I've never really been a fan of Bond - and I loved this film. My wife, on the other hand, is a Bond fan - and walked out after 20 minutes. In a way this says all you need to know about a film so far from Roger Moore that his oeuvre might as well by Whitehall farce.
Its complex, its all action, it demands - requires - total concentration. Blink and you will miss an important bit of the plot. So don't blink - just enjoy the ride.
On the other hand, if you are a fan of Smersh and over-the-top villains with white cats, amusing quips, and simple black-and-white plots than all the family can enjoy... forget it. This is really not the film for you.
