Review: Latest Bond film starts strong, keeps rolling

And the momentum keeps building for the next 106 minutes of the ultra-thrilling 22nd installment in the 007 film franchise, as Her Majesty’s favorite spy, now fueled by barely-contained fury and pain over the death of Vesper Lynd, the love who betrayed him, resumes the global hunt for the sinister forces responsible for it all.

When Bond and MI6 leader M (Judi Dench, wonderful again as the tough mother figure) grill the captured Mr. White (Jesper Christensen), he claims the organization that blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and world-threatening than anyone realizes.

"The first thing you should know is that we have people everywhere,” he warns, ominously hinting that no one can be trusted, not even within the British Secret Service.

Mr. White isn’t bluffing. Forensic evidence connects an MI6 traitor to a bank account in Haiti where Bond meets the beautiful Camille (a scrappy performance by Ukrainian actress Olga Kurylenko), who’s on a vengeance quest of her own.
