One of the better Brosnan Bonds, his 2nd outing hits the ground running and keeps up its relentless pace throughout. Spottiswoode expertly brings more vim and vigour to the franchise and there's no sign of the alleged backstage fighting. Brosnan slips effortlessly back into the role of 007, teaming up with a hard asskicking Chinese agent (Yeoh) in battling a media mogul who is stage managing a world war in order to get exclusive broadcast rights. If anything, Pryce's fey mogul is the film's weakest link but it doesn't affect the film's breathless speed too much.

This edition of pierce brosnans bond is a really good film but not as good as the other 3 but still worth the money if you are a hardcore bond fan like myself.......long live 007

Brosnan returns in a leaner Bond movie, thats light on plot, but excells in the action department.
A deranged media mogul is staging international incidents to pit the world's super powers against each other.
Bond must take on this mad-man in an adrenaline -charged battle to end his reign of terror, and prevent global pandemonium.
The action in the film is superb, and there is alot of it. But the problem with a Bond movie is, if the bad guy is no good the film does suffer, and the Bad guy in ths played by Jonathan Pryce is not very good. He just taps away at a key board making headlines for his paper. But Brosnan is ever excellent and Judi Dench as "M" brings things down to earth. With a better bad guy this film would have been a classic Bond. But as it stands, it's a very good action film.
