Skyfall
2012 | Sam Mendes
James Bond and Eve tracks down a stolen hard drive which contains identities of undercover agents in terrorist organizations. During the case Bond is accidentally shot by Eve, and presumed dead.
M is under pressure because the mission to retrieve hard drive is failed. MI is hacked and followed by the explosion which kills MI6 employees. Emergency plan is executed, MI6 relocates to offices underground. Everything goes according to the procedure. It is all part of the plan to get to M.
Skyfall received such high praise from critics. But I do feel it lacks of something special, like secret villain or special weapon. Script is well-written. The chase at the beginning is probably the most exciting scene in the entire film.
