After being captured during a North Korean mission, 007
(Pierce Brosnan) is held in a prison camp for 14 months until traded for a
terrorist with a diamond encrusted face (Rick Yune) and released. Now targeting
his counterpart, he allies himself with a beautiful American agent (Halle
Berry) and also sets his sights on a diamond merchant (Toby Stephens) who has
funded a satellite with Earth destroying implications. Brosnan’s final Bond
outing is also his worst, a dull, special effects heavy, and ludicrous (even by
series standards) entry with forgettable villains and gorgeous Bond girls Berry
and Rosamund Pike bringing little else to the proceedings.
** out of ****
