- RichyEOctober 21, 2025Saw it in the cinema and I still wonder if John Patrick Mason was really 007 doing time. This one’s a high octane, Bay blasted thrill ride with just enough grit and charisma to make it a ’90s classic. Sean Connery plays Mason, a mysterious British operative locked away without trial and let’s be honest, the film never says “James Bond,” but it winks so hard it practically shouts it. Nicolas Cage is the twitchy chemical weapons expert, Ed Harris is the morally tormented general and the whole thing unfolds like a symphony of explosions, slow motion dives and military grade banter. The Alcatraz setup is pure action gold and Hans Zimmer’s score gives it that operatic punch. Connery walks through this like a retired MI6 agent who’s had enough of martinis and is ready to blow up a shower room. If this wasn’t a stealth Bond sequel, it’s the closest we’ll ever get.
