Synopsis:
Seeking revenge for the death of his love, secret agent James Bond sets out to stop an environmentalist from taking control of a country's valuable resource. 

Review:
The 22nd installment in the Bond franchise. This review is pretty simple because if you've seen any of the more modern Bond films, or even any of the classic ones, then you know exactly what to expect from this one. You can expect to see Bond fist fighting, shooting, jumping, climbing, diving, dodging, driving & yes of course banging just like every other film. The film takes place immediately after the events in Casino Royale & follows Bond as he tries to discover what happened to him during the film & of course betrayal that befell him. The movie is filmed in the Mediterranean, with a warm, sunny beach & ocean back drop as well as a baron desert. I will say that I personally don't think Daniel Craig is that good of an actor, and this role doesn't really help showcase him at all. He has very limited emotions because he is suppose to be a straight faced, serious secret agent. The upside is you get two gorgeous European babes. Ukrainian Olga Kurylenko & Brit Gemma Arterton are super sexy in the film & are the sexiest girls in the modern Bond films. It's a good action film, but that's about it.

S.P.R.: B-/40
Acting: 8/10
Plot: 8/10
Cinematography: 8/10
Intrigue: 8/10
Extra: 8/10
