New world order, new Bond

GoldenEye (1995)

Directed by Martin Campbell this is the 17th film in the Bond franchise and stars Pierce Brosnan, Sean Bean, Izabella Scorupco and Fakme Janssen. Bond investigates the theft of a space weapon in post Soviet Russia.

After six years away Bond was back with a bang and this film contains some iconic action sequences which have a real sense of scale about them. The plot is fairly average but the script adds some nice touches that show both a level of self awareness and that the world Bond is in has changed with the fall of the Berlin Wall. Largely the film is well made even if occasionally the model work is a little obvious but other than that the only other slips are in Sean Bean's accent but it doesn't happen enough to be a problem.


4/5
