Skyfall 2012


     007 is reported dead after an attempt to get back a stolen hard drive list of NATO agents.  The British government grills and blames M for the loss of the list, it is suggested she retire in two months time.  Her answer is that she will solve this problem but soon after it is discovered the computers of MI6 have been hacked through M's computer.  On her way back to headquarters, there is a huge explosion at the building killing eight employees.  The next move is the names of five secret agents will be released each week until the thief is caught.
     This film starts right in with the action in Istanbul, wounded agents, a high- speed car chase, a motorcycle chase and then a struggle on top of a train.  Bardem makes a very creepy villain and adversary.  I think this latest Bond film is right up there with Goldfinger and From Russia with Love and I would see this again.  Adele sings the opening song.  4 ½* (I loved this movie)

143 min, Action directed by Sam Mendes with Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Judy Dench, Naomie Harris, Berenice Marlohe, Albert Finney,  Ben Whishaw.

Note:  Blockbuster 4 /12*, imdb 8.1 out of 10. 92% critic 89% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
