In DIE ANOTHER DAY, the 20th James Bond adventure, 007 (Pierce Brosnan) gets off to a rough start when he is captured and subsequently tortured during an assignment in North Korea. When the suave secret agent is eventually liberated, he embarks on a dangerous mission to Cuba that involves tracking a terrorist named Zao (Rick Yune). There, 007 encounters Jinx (Halle Berry), a formidable and alluring fellow spy. Soon Bond is back in England following a mysterious trail that leads to Gustav Graves (Toby Stephens), a flamboyant diamond mogul. After a rather bloody introduction, Graves invites 007 to Iceland, where he plans to unveil his enigmatic Icarus project. Before long, Bond and Jinx are reunited and battling Graves, Zao, and other villains bent on world domination. With this Bond installment, directed by Lee Tamahori, 007 catches up with the 21st century, and the results are grittier and more explosive than ever before. Although it begins as one of the darkest and most violent Bond films, the intense mood of DIE ANOTHER DAY is counterbalanced by typically clever and funny moments. Brosnan is in fine form as the iconic hero, while Berry shines as the immediately likeable Jinx. Stephens and Yune make excellent bad guys, and the rest of the cast--including Judi Dench, John Cleese, Rosamund Pike, and Michael Madsen--provide key supporting roles. With its hi-tech gadgets and special-effects-laden set pieces, DIE ANOTHER DAY clearly has its eye on the future, but in numerous scenes it also lovingly embraces the past, placing the film in the upper tier of Bond movies.

An action movie which the word "blockbuster" was practically invented for, super spy James Bond, as portrayed by Pierce Brosnan, returns for his twentieth adventure and strives not to mess with a good (or financially successful) formula.

Die Another Day is both skillful and playful, and that's about as high a compliment as I can give a 007 film.

In boldface fact, 'Die Another Day' is the best Bond in years, and arguably ranks with the vintage Sean Connery set. Any Connery/Bond fan knows that is high-spy praise.

This Bond doesn’t stop for donuts or martinis....Exhume Die Another Day and you’ll find a fascinating allegory about the 2002 Second Coming of the Bush presidency.

The spy whom we all loved is looking less human and more like a videogame character. . . . Die Another Day is Just Another Bond for the attention-deficit generation.

Halle Berry gives a go at the 007 franchise, working with Pierce Brosnan to show us a ripping good time.
