Our take on Spectre

Sam Mendes returns to the Bond series in 2015 with a sleek, shadow-drenched thriller. A cryptic message from 007's past sets him on the trail of a sinister organization, while M battles political forces determined to shut the secret service down. As Bond peels back layers of deceit, he edges toward a terrible truth behind SPECTRE. Mendes leans on elegant widescreen craft, brooding atmosphere and a sense of Bond confronting the ghosts of his own history, tying past adventures into a larger design. It suits viewers who favor style, intrigue and a moody, personal spin on espionage over nonstop action, and rewards those already invested in this era's ongoing story.
