Bond plot trajectory's segued here - robust fare in the Bond franchise

Rating: 8/10 (27 June 2020)

I enjoyed this film on re-watch. Bond is familiarly reprimanded at the beginning of the film and predictably brought back into the fold when his hunch proves to be correct.
The plot is,... well a Bond plot. Global evil intent is brought to heel by one man on the side of a former Imperial power fighting a just cause. The segueing of former characters into this plot was especially welcome to me at least and have the plot more credibility. I thought the actress playing the grieving widow was particularly good. The script was middling, although all the actors turn in strong performances. If you're a Bond fan, a must watch.
