Skyfall (2012) 8/10

Starring : Daniel Craig, Judi Dench, Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris
Director : Sam Mendes
Running Time : 144 mins

Whilst on a routine mission, James Bond (Craig) is accidentally shot down by one of his own people and presumed dead. He survives, but while he is missing his boss M (Dench) finds herself under pressure to retire, using Bond’s death as an excuse. Bond eventually returns when he hears of an attack on MI6, and his investigation leads to a man named Silva (Bardem) who wants M dead.

I’m breathing a sigh of relief that this wasn’t another Quantum Of Solace. Granted, it doesn’t feel like a Bond movie, and clearly Bond wants to give up his job and isn’t his usual cheerful quippy self, but fans of Craig in the role will really love this gritty instalment that leaves the audience second guessing at every turn.
