movie review - The World is Not Enough

twenty-eight years and a million words
Sydney, 2000.08.12
Man. This flick was actually not bad for a Bond film, even if we do lose my favorite recent recurring gangster. But the two lead females! What was the director thinking. It's paint-by-numbers Bond and simply goes through the motions. Brosnan's toughened up a bit, which is good, but the waste of Robert Carlyle and the overall feeling of clumsiness and mishandled material is inescapable.
Not recommended.
