When James Bond's (Daniel Craig) latest assignment goes terribly wrong, it leads to a calamitous turn of events: Undercover agents around the world are exposed, and MI6 is attacked, forcing M (Judi Dench) to relocate the agency. With MI6 now compromised inside and out, M turns to the one man she can trust: Bond. Aided only by a field agent (Naomie Harris), Bond takes to the shadows and follows a trail to Silva (Javier Bardem), a man from M's past who wants to settle an old score.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

The result has been a no nonsense, driven, incredibly flawed, and actually wound-able James Bond compared to the invisible caricature of decadence he had become a generation prior.

Rated: 5/5

The first time we see Sam Mendes in the director’s chair and cinematographer Roger Deakins enter the franchise to create this stunning film.

Roger Deakins makes every inch of the screen drip cinematic beauty with eyegasmic wide shots and mind-blowing lighting, making this the best-looking Bond flick ever. Phenomenal acting all around.
