This is a no-spoiler review, and the odds are that you have already seen the movie anyway. We caught it on Vudu, a PPV movie streaming service, last night. Daniel Craig, as James Bond one final time, is pit against Spectre evildoers. He works with CIA colleague Felix Leiter and eventually his post-retirement replacement 007 (it’s just a number) trying to recover the McGuffin in this plot – a virus that threatens all humanity. No, it isn’t SARS-CoV-2; this one is definitely worse.
Rami Malek plays a superb bad guy, agent of chaos, who is not clearly identified as a Spectre operative. I wonder if there is another terrorist organization. Of course there is. There is always another terrorist organization.
The story begins with the typical Bond movie intro – parkour, vehicular ballet, blazing automatic weapons and shit blowing up. I really love to see shit blowing up when it is done safely. The score is by Hans Zimmer; I liked it a lot. Susan observed that Craig spent less time in a tux than in any of his prior movies.
This was an excellent story and movie as well as a fitting end to Craig’s run as James Bond. Susan microwaved some popcorn so that we could enjoy the complete theatrical experience. I recommend this one to anyone who likes action flicks.
