Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Daniel Craig's last hurrah as 007 ticks every hoped-for Bond-shaped box in a smart, absorbing thriller with some surprising twists. Disillusioned by earlier events, the now reclusive agent is lured out of retirement to thwart the spread of germ-based, DNA-specific weaponry, first developed by British intelligence, and now in the hands of Rami Malek's sinister supervillain Lyutsifer Safin - a mission that forces him to confront uncomfortable truths close to home. It's arguably Craig's most human portrayal in the franchise, a flawed and weary Bond dogged by regrets yet primed for the inevitable heroics, with assistance from paramour Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux) and Ana de Armas as a scene-stealing CIA agent. Malek isn't entirely convincing as the soft-spoken overlord intent on genocide (and is considerably less chilling than Christoph Waltz's reprisal of Ernst Blofeld in a Hannibal Lecter-style cameo), but the wonderfully white-knuckle stunts and action sequences don't disappoint.
