Die Another Day
- Rating:
- Director: Lee Tamahori
- Starring: Halle Berry
- Details: US / 104 mins / (15PG).
In which Bond (Brosnan) saves the world from an ostensibly eco-friendly entrepreneur (Stephens) with a dastardly 'artificial sun' thingy. Same old deal? Yes, of course, but there's enough gags, chases and wacky new fiddly bits to ensure Die Another Day is a worthy addition to the Bond canon - and that's not something we've been able to say too often recently.
