A REVIEW

We like Daniel Craig.

We thought he was electric in Munich and Layer Cake.

And then he set the bar higher with Casino Royale – arguably the best James Bond film ever.

After that, it’s mainly been a disappointing run, with one ho-hum Bond film after another.

No Time To Die doesn’t do Craig any favors.

While some can find things to like about the film, this installment is a write-off, another mediocre, nihilistic action-adventure flick phoned in by an actor who seemingly lost interest along the way.

We wish Craig all the best, but look forward to Bond coming back stronger, with better screenwriting and a new actor or actress laying it all on the line.
