Review
A star rating of 4 out of 5.
Adrian Turner
When "M" says to James Bond, "I think you're a sexist, misogynist dinosaur, a relic of the Cold War," who can disagree? But, on his first mission as 007, Pierce Brosnan quickly established himself as the best Bond since Sean Connery, making a fetish out of the old-fashioned values of loyalty and patriotism. The film also marked Judi Dench's debut as the first female "M", while Famke Janssen makes an eye-watering impression as a baddie who crushes her victims between her thighs. A stunning chase between car and tank through the streets of St Petersburg is among the action highlights, and the success of the film led to Martin Campbell returning to the director's chair to help launch Daniel Craig as Bond in Casino Royale a decade later.
