SKYFALL
Bond begins in Istanbul trying to recover a hard disk with the names and  covert identity's of MI6 agents across the world .the mission goes awry and bond is injured presumed dead,bond take advantage of this and lives the life of a beach bum for a while,but is startled to discover MI6 headquarter has been coprimised in a terrorist attack ,bond reports back to m and is told he ll have to be tested before he can go back into the field,he struggles to pass once back on active service bond follows the lead to an assassin that then lead to silva a highly intelligent ex  employee of m from her days in charge on MI6 in hong kong .and so much cat and mousery begins between silva and bond ,this i felt was possibly the most serious of the bonds there r still touches of over the top stunt work a la Istanbul opening scene involving a train and an earth mover,the action feels a little more restrained but it makes it a better movie more about the characters and dialogue ,also being a bond fanatic i loved the nods to the old ,q branch etc all in a very satisfying entry it actually feels as if Sam mendes has givin the franchise his own reboot ,shaken not stirred,perfect.
