Suave, smooth, and sophisticated.

Believed to have been born wearing a crisp black suit with a tiny gun in his hand, this man, if he actually existed, would be the one you’d want beside you in an emergency.

Yes, I’m talking about Bond, of course. James Bond.

Just like scammers and viruses, it seems that the James Bond franchise will always be around, churning out new films every few years or so.

The latest instalment – No Time to Die – features a 53-year-old Danial Craig, an age where most of us would find it tiring to iron a suit let alone defeat bad guys in one.

But he’s performed the role with aplomb, as he always does, and many of those who have already seen the movie love it. 

If you’re wondering whether you should head to the theatre to watch it or wait three years for it to come on Netflix, here’s everything you need to know about No Time to Die. 

What’s it About?

You know those action movies where the protagonist, usually an agent of some kind, is called out of retirement for one last mission where his skills are desperately needed?

Well, something similar happens in No Time to Die. Check out the synopsis:

“Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.”

That “dangerous new technology” is a bioweapon, which is particularly relevant now.

While some have criticised the dialogue, the action sequences are as impressive as ever, if that’s your thing.

Interestingly, when Bond comes out of retirement, he finds that his 007 licence has been taken over by a new agent, played by Lashana Lynch.

The movie also features Léa Seydoux who was in the previous film, and Rami Malek, who plays Safin, Bond’s adversary.

Reviews

Despite its long runtime of 2 hours and 43 minutes, film critics have praised the film, with many calling it a perfect finale for Craig’s final Bond movie.

The movie also received positive reviews from The Guardian and The Telegraph. 

CNN’s Brian Lowry thought otherwise, saying the “bloated” film tries too hard to provide Craig “a sendoff worthy of all the hype associated with it”.

Like many films during the pandemic, the premier of No Time to Die was pushed back several times, which delayed it by 18 months in the end.

Fortunately, the movie is set to hit local cinemas tomorrow (30 Sep).
