15 years ago, Daniel Craig donned the neutral-colored suit and stepped into the role of James Bond, 007 spy. He emerged on the scene in the 2006 Bond film Casino Royale, and represented the new spy era, one where they were willing to get their hands dirty. Throughout his tenure in Quantum Of Solace, Skyfall, and Spectre, James Bond simultaneously excelled while losing his trust in those around him. No Time To Die is James Bond at his peak and closes the Daniel Craig chapter with a satisfying conclusion.
No Time To Die picks up after the events of Spectre, with James Bond in the wind with his love after burning the bridges of his past away. His active service days are over, and he longs for peace and a life free from responsibility. But that peace is short-lived. An old CIA contact reaches out to him, and that begins one last globe-trotting adventure for Daniel Craig‘s James Bond.
Craig’s final movie in the James Bond franchise pulls off quite an exhilarating and emotionally satisfying finale. The stakes have never been higher. The attachments have never been deeper. Bond’s resolve has never been stronger. Hans Zimmer continues to add to his hall of fame resume with a score filled with callbacks through Daniel Craig‘s 15-year story arc. The female companions in this film are written well, intended to be more than just beautiful eye candy. Overall, No Time To Die wraps Craig’s saga with a beautiful bow and creates the foundation for the next 007 to arrive, whoever that may be.
