Brosnan's second Bond is a somewhat middling affair. Director Spottiswoode revisits some old settings/tricks and piles on a bunch of additional action. The problem is that Brosnan isn't the best action hero and with so many things blowing up, there isn't that much time left for him to be his most charming self.

Carver is a wealthy media mogul who plans to launch a worldwide news coverage agency. Behind the scenes he's staging and manipulating highly volatile political scuffles, in order to produce scoops for his network. Bond is sent in to investigate as he's had a past with Carver's wife.

Brosnan doesn't quite feel at home with so many bullets flying around, Yeoh's martial arts skills are underused and Pryce must be one of the blandest bad guys yet. There are some nifty action scenes and the film's a tad shorter than usual, but there's nothing really memorable about this Bond entry.
