SKYFALL (2012)
SAM MENDES
Cast
Plot
Bond's loyalty to M is confirmed as the oedipal mess we always suspected it was when her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, an under par 007 must track down and destroy the madman behind it all. Skyfall plays as a super slick but stripped back, brooding action drama; another layer of the onion is revealed and another legend is re-invented....for no discernable purpose. Entertaining though, and probably even more so if it had been half an hour shorter.
