THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH (1999)

Cast

Plot

007 slips on his tuxedo for the 19th time, this time in pursuit of international terrorist Renard, who has the huge advantage of being unable to feel pain due to a bullet lodged in his brain. Heading off to the Balkans, Bond meets his old sparring partner Zukovsky and becomes embroiled with Dr Christmas Jones, the most ridiculously unlikely-looking nuclear physicist imaginable. The stunning speedboat opening sequence gives a taster of the usual high quality stunts, Carlyle makes a satisfyingly barking bad guy, and Brosnan strolls effortlessly through his role. Not the best Bond movie ever, but not the worst either.
