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. Superlative stuff. Quite possibly the best Bond movie ever.

As MI6 comes under attack, an under par 007 must track down and destroy the madman behind it all. Skyfall plays as a super slick but stripped back, brooding action drama; another layer of the onion is revealed and another legend is re-invented....for no discernable purpose. Entertaining though, and probably even more so if it had been half an hour shorter.
