Skyfall

Used to be, there was no real discussion on who was the best James Bond: It was Connery or nobody. Now that Daniel Craig is in his third installment as the British Secret Agent, the title of Greatest 007 is up for grabs. In Skyfall, a beautiful looking thriller, Bond is shot and foiled in an attempt to recover important spy information. Presumed dead, he comes back to help track down a threat that has infiltrated MI6, his mother organization, a threat that is exposing operatives and threatening, of course, the security of the civilized world.

ClearPlay In Action!

Bond mayhem and sensuality ensues. ClearPlay cleans up about 15 instances of language, a couple of scenes of implied intercourse, and the usual action-film violence. The plot may be too subtle and complicated for younger viewers, and the action scenes, though trimmed, may be too intense for them as well.

“Will Skyfall leave me shaken AND stirred?...”

Skyfall ranks as one of the best Bonds ever, a smart mix of action, performance and panache. Craig again shows why he’s possibly the best Bond, and director Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Revolutionary Road) brings some grown-up sensibilities to the action franchise. The supporting cast, with Judi Dench, Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes, add even more class to an already posh affair.
