Our take on Skyfall

Sam Mendes's 2012 entry in the long-running spy franchise turns the danger inward: when an assignment goes gravely wrong, agents worldwide are exposed and MI6 headquarters comes under attack. As M faces mounting challenges to her authority from a new oversight chairman, Bond, aided by field agent Eve, must track down the mastermind behind the assault. The film pairs the expected action and globe-trotting adventure with an unusually personal, loyalty-tested thriller, sharpening character over gadgetry. It suits viewers who want their espionage with real emotional stakes and a moody, introspective edge. Those craving lighthearted spy fun or nonstop spectacle may find its tone heavier and more sombre than usual.
