This short, violent, and relatively atypical 007 film was almost as successful as Casino Royale, despite mixed reviews and complicated reception. Chalk it to the franchise’s last goodwill or popularity, but this ruthless revenge thriller, a kind of “Bond cosplays Jason Statham and Jason Bourne,” still brought in crowds. This offering, one of the more explicitly political installments, presented the U.S. Government as indifferent to the plot of the supervillain. This film allowed Olga Kurylenko to avenge her murdered father without any moral lectures or finger-wagging, unlike many women seeking vengeance films.
