is Back in Die Another Day The New Zealand
born film director Lee Tamahori who took Hollywood by storm in his
epic Once Were Warriors has done a good job with his new outing
as the Bond director. The movie as many critics see is Sexy, funny
and spectacular, Bond's first mission of the new millennium is one
of the best of the series - not simply a great Bond movie, but a
great Action movie. The story line
takes Bond from North Korea, Hong Kong, Cuba, to Iceland. It is
a Bond who is touring the globe and this time the speciality is,
it is more than the mission for Her Majesty's government Bond is
also fighting an enemy who has succeeded in damaging his pride and
reputation. The movie opens
up with a spectacular Hovercraft chase through a deadly minefield
in the demilitarized zone separating North and South Korea. But
as a result of this he is captured by the North Koreans and while
Madonna performs her song for the movie titles the viewers are shown
some gruelling torture inflicted on Bond and the movie opens up
proper depicting 14 month stay in prison for Bond. Finally he
realizes that he his freedom came at the expense of the same person
he came to takeout in the Korean mission and he takes it as a personal
initiative to takeout the perpetrator a young Korean renegade army
colonel Zao played by Rick Yune Bonds mission
is tough because he realizes that there is some one working within
his organization leading to his betrayal in the Korean mission and
which can be repeated. The Hunt for Zao takes him to Cuba where
Bond as well as the viewers are introduced to the all new Bond Girl
Jinx played by the Oscar winning Halle Berry. Both Bond and
Jinx are on the hunt for Zao and Cuba is the point where he realizes
the technology of alteration of facial features and what bigger
business Zao is involved in and the diamonds he acquire from a brief
encounter with Zao leads him to a multi millionaire who has made
a reputation because of his dare devil feats and technological mania,
Gustav Graves played by Tobby Stephens. Bond is partnered
by the new addition to his organization Miranda Frost played by
Rosamund Pike. But Jinx is also in close pursuit of Bond. What they
find in the Palace is that Gustave has acquired a super weapon some
what similar to the Golden Eye weapon stationed in space but can
attack any object in the ground with a devastating strike. The melting
of the Ice Palace is a classic example for this. Bond finally
uncovers the traitor as his new partner and with jinx fight Gustave
who he realizes is the real Zao who has altered his facial features
and makes a timely stop to global war eruption in the 37th parallel
separating North and South Korea. We see a car
duel after a long time in this movie which is much enjoyable seeing
than reading but the new feature of adaptive camouflage which makes
the Bond Aston Martin car invisible is a great addition and needs
a mentioning. |
