Bond vs 100% not Rupert Murdoch

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
