Die Another Day

Tempi duri per James Bond. Catapultato in Corea del Nord per stroncare un traffico di "conflict diamonds", viene catturato e appena liberato si vede ritirare la licenza in quanto sospettato di aver rivelato ai carcerieri i nomi dei componenti della propria rete spionistica. Fuggito dalla nave che doveva trasportarlo alle Falkland, l'agente si recherà dapprima a Cuba dove incontrerà l'affascinante statunitense Jinx, poi a Londra dove il misterioso miliardario Gustav Graves sembra tirare le fila del gioco. Di mezzo c'è un satellite capace di concentrare la luce solare, doppi e tripli giochi, un conflitto alle porte tra Corea del Nord e del Sud. Non è difficile immaginare chi l'avrà vinta.
As always, Pierce Brosnon shines in his acting, and James Bond lives on to see another Casino Royale...yes, I am aware that will be Daniel Craig.
In his fourth and final outing as the MI6 British super spy, Pierce Brosnon, there is a strong story, good action, and a fairly straightforward storyline with a twist that I'm pretty sure surprised nobody. The CGI has not aged well, see the kite surfing in the Antarctic seen, though the rest is well received. Halley Berry is sexy while maintaining a very dissimilar behavior to many previous bond women. She should have gotten that planned spin-off film series. Unfortunately, for as much as she was liked, she was still pretty two-dimensional.
I thought that this film was fairly entertaining and will rematch it again in my next go around of the series.
