Pierce Brosnan's third and so far best Bond film - a powerhouse action adventure combined with driving characters and story, all polished with sleeker than sleek Bondian style. The cracking Brosnan means business as 007 here bringing all the elements the fans, audiences and critics love to see from the character and bringing back memories from the four guys who went before him, as well as the flair he brought to the role in his previous films.

The story sees Bond investigate into the murder of an oil tycoon, which leads him into the path of his haunted daughter, Elektra King, (an excellent Sophie Marceau) and her terrorist ex-kidnapper, Renard, (Robert Caryle), who plans to gain unlimited power by siezing control of the King pipeline. Regulars Judi Dench (M) and Desmond Llewelyn (Q) are on hand with particularly memorable and fitting appearences this time around and the bankable cast is further expanded with the presence of Denise Richards, Robbie Coltrane and John Clesse (stepping in as Q's successor). All this and some of the series' most amusingly over-the-top and spectacular action ensures that this Bond is up there with the best of them.
