" He lives where all shadows live, . . . . in the Dark "

Rating: 9/10 (16 February 2013)

This James Bond story was written by Neal Purvis and Robert Wade. In addition it was superbly directed by Sam Mendes. From the onset this new Bond film awakens the audiences with wall-to-wall action. When describing a superior movie as this one is, it's easy when recalling the heart-thumping, hair-raising introduction. Taken nearly from today's headlines. Bond is seen in dangerous high-flying mid-action when he travels from country to country confronting the enemies of the Crown. Upon returning home to England his secret organization of MI6 is attacked with a great loss of life. Bond and his boss 'M' (Judi Dench) come under great political criticism and nearly put out to pasture. However, that's when Bond (Daniel Craig) is at his best. He now seeks to learn who the shadowy mole is and vows vengeance. There is much drama in this movie as the audience follows Bond into the complex labyrinth of espionage where everyone is suspect. New Bond characters are added and several add to the mystique and intrigue like the new 'Q' (Ben Whishaw) and Eve.(Naomie Harris. In all, one can look forward to an explosive and entertaining movie. Easilly recommended. ****
