Tomorrow Never Dies
(1997)
Directed by Roger
Spottiswoode this is the 18th film in the Bond franchise
and stars Pierce Brosnan, Jonathan Pryce, Michelle Yeoh and Teri
Hatcher. After the sinking of a British Navy ship off the coast of
China our hero is sent to investigate a media mogul who may be up to
no good.
This is certainly an
interesting entry into the franchise and is some what unusual in that
it does everything decently but nothing excellently. The plot is
fairly realistic for a Bond film and while the stunts do not
necessarily have the scale of it's predecessor they are certainly
well done. Michelle Yeoh gets a role that is one of the better Bond
girls, in the vein of Barbara Bach's from The Spy Who Loved Me
(1977), certainly a character that is on a par with Bond when it
comes to kicking butt.
4/5
