Well done - better than expected

Rating: 8/10 (9 November 2008)

A film supposedly no good, for me, turned out to be an enjoyable Sunday afternoon's watch. Previous spy films have relied too much on duff technology which looks rubbish as years go by (anyone remember the C60 cassette tape in Diamonds are Forever?). So by making the film stunts and action based we have a film that will look good for years to come - links well with Casino Royale (and is in effect part 2), but is none the worse for that. Craig is believable as the tough guy and handles the fights well. The plot does jump around, but if you keep up with it, it does reward as all the loose bits tie up.
A good film, not a great film.
