The latest Bond movie is an action film without the usual glitz, glamor, and gadgetry that is associated with this genre of movies. Sky fall is about an attack on the espionage headquarters of England. Sky Fall starts off with the British espionage agency's computer system getting hacked and a list of under cover agents who have infiltrated terrorist organizations is lost. Bond is in search of this list and the first part of the movie is perhaps the best. The chase involves a high speed automobile pursuit and then a motorcycle chase which ends on top of a train.
The chief of M6 gives an order to shoot to Bond's associate. Expectedly the shot hits Bond instead of the actual culprit. Bond goes underground in shock and is declared dead. Three months later the list is published on the internet and the terrorist organizations start killing the spies. Meanwhile there is an attack on the intelligence headquarters also.
Bond returns to London and reports to duty. His investigations take him to Shanghai and then to a private island where he discovers who the real culprit is. The rest of the movie is about how the culprit is subdued and eliminated.
Like I said earlier the best part of the movie is the chase sequence at the beginning. Surprisingly for a Bond movie there are very few titillating and sexually charged scenes in this movie. This James Bond actor is perhaps the least handsome of all. I wonder why British film industry couldn't find a better actor. Anyway this is what it will be for the next few years I guess.
