Description: Pierce Brosnan leaps into action as Agent 007 in this spectacular thrill ride of death-defying stunts and amazing high-tech gadgets. In the most electrifying Bond film yet, the unstoppable action hero must prevent a tremendous disaster ripped from tomorrow's headlines. Someone is pitting the world's superpowers against each other ? and only James Bond can stop it. When a British warship is mysteriously destroyed in Chinese waters, the world teeters on the brink of WWIII ? until 007 zeros in on the true criminal mastermind. Bond's do-or-die mission takes him to Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce), a powerful industrialist who manipulates world events as easily as he changes headlines from his global media empire. After soliciting help from Carver's sexy wife, Paris (Teri Hatcher), Bond joins forces with a stunning yet lethal Chinese agent, Wai Lin (Michelle Yeoh), in a series of explosive chases, brutal confrontations and breathtaking escapes as they race to stop the presses on Carver's next planned news story: global pandemonium! With powerhouse action sequences, including a wild motorcycle pursuit through (and over!) Saigon, Tomorrow Never Dies is a thrilling action-adventure "that roars from start to finish with the throttle wide open (Gene Shalit, NBC-TV)!
Amazon.com: With stylish director Roger Spottiswode (Under Fire) at the helm, this James Bond thriller is one of the sleekest ever. It doesn't feel weighed down by its mammoth special effects, like most other recent installments. It's consistently graceful and light on its feet, especially when high-kicking Hong Kong martial-arts star Michelle Yeoh leaps into action as Bond's Chinese counterpart. And a sequence depicting a high-altitude parachute jump ranks with the coolest set pieces of the entire series. There's even an attempt in this outing to modernize the stiff-jointed Cold War assumptions of the secret-agent genre, by making the bad guy (played with greedy relish by Jonathan Pryce) an international media mogul, a megalomaniacal blend of Rupert Murdoch and Ted Turner. As a ploy to boost the ratings of his cable-news hookup, Pryce's Jeremy Carver employs a globe-spanning satellite system to nudge the armed forces of China and Great Britain into a confrontation--quoting William Randolph Hearst (and Charles Foster Kane) along the way: "You supply the pictures, I'll supply the war." Bond number six, Pierce Brosnan, seems to be settling into a no-nonsense interpretation of 007 as "a professional doing a job," a craftsman who seems to be exhilarated by his own competence. Michelle Yeoh's best Hong Kong efforts include Yes, Madam, Heroic Trio, and Supercop, in which she costarred with Jackie Chan--and matched him kick for kick. --David Chute
Tomorrow Never Dies (Special Edition) dies dull death As much as Pierce Brosnan is a favorite actor, pairing him with Terri Hatcher was not a great choice. Watch it for Jonathon Pryce, who is brilliant as the villian, and Dame Judy Dench as the perfect M.
Classic Bond Traumatised by my ghasty experience of watching 'Casino Roayle', I decided to cheer myself up by watching a really good Bond movie. I never really cared that much for Pierce Brosnan by comparison with my favourite Bond, Roger Moore, but compared with the dreary nonentity in 'Casino Royale' Brosnan is a prince among men.
This film has everything you want in a Bond movie. Among the many pleasures of this film is an outstanding performance by Jonathan Pryce, clearly enjoying himself hugely playing the mad villain, media mogul Elliot Carver (who bears a striking resemblance to Rupert Murdoch, quite coincidental I am sure). There is lots of humour, plenty of amazing gadgets, a most satisfyingly tough heroine who can do amazing karate kicks, and the most thrilling chase ever in a Bond movie, with Bond and the fesity heroine handcuffed together on a motor bike, tearing through crowded city streets, over rooftops etc, fantastic.
They don't, alas, make Bond movies like this any more.
Best Bond Film Ever Made! Ok, so I love a lot of Bond films, but this one is at the very top of my list with "The Spy Who Loved Me" and "The World is Not Enough." The acting is great, the action is better than most any Bond film, (excluding Casino Royale, which blew my mind with it's high impact chases and fights,) and the score by David Arnold is an instant classic.
This is Bond, James Bond at his absolute best. BUY IT!!
