Content |
A whole load of set pieces the more memorable of which were a duel in a fencing club, a car chase in an Icelandic ice palace and a shoot out in an enormous cargo aircraft. There is drinking and implied sex but nothing explicit. |
A View |
This was almost approved of by Rotten Tomatoes and I liked it, maybe because Pierce Brosnan is a pretty good Bond I think. If there is a fault it is that the writers are not satisfied with one climax, they had to have two which is just a bit irritating. If you enjoy a Bond outing you will know what to expect. |
