![]() It’s a good one, very well directed by Oakland’s own Cary Joji Fukunaga ( Sin Nombre, Beasts of No Nation, True Detective), who was an inspired choice to replace late project dropout Danny Boyle (a good director, albeit probably not for this franchise). ![]() That is perhaps just as well, since a little of him here goes a long way.Ĭraig has been making noises about leaving the role practically since he started, and No Time is definitely his last such outing. A new main nemesis is played by Rami Malek, who does not factor greatly until the later parts of the film. Apparently past his babe-bagging days, 007 now has one Serious Relationship at a time, this one with Spectre’s Lea Seydoux. Personnel this time encompass old friends (Jeffrey Wright, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Ralph Fiennes, Rory Kinnear, Christoph Waltz), not all of whom will survive this episode, as well as new friends, enemies, and frienemies (Lashana Lynch, Ana de Armas, Billy Magnussen, David Dencik, etc.). There’s plenty of action, of course, some a tad preposterous, though No Time does not embrace the extremely tongue-in-cheek, almost camp air of some prior Bond flicks-even as it refuses to take itself quite so seriously (at least most of the time) as other Daniel Craig entries. If you like this sort of thing, it was worth the wait, and the money to see it on the big screen, with the auditorium-armchair travel this time encompassing impressive locations in Italy, Norway, Jamaica, and the Faroe Islands.
