Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)


Bond film #18 and Brosnan film #2. The tech-lord villain attempting to start World War III is ridiculous. The wisecracks are daft and unfunny. Q’s brief cameo is totally bolted on. The “funky” music and slow-motion shots are naff. Regular machine-gun spraying never hits Bond. The female lead has a ludicrous secret base hidden in her flat. And Pierce Brosnan acts with his hair. But somehow it’s highly enjoyable. The extended handcuffed-on-motorbike chase scene was a lot of fun. Judi Dench is superb as M.
