Spectre
The other day I wrote about the Empire Strikes back.  Imdb.com still gives that 30-year-old movie an 8.5.  Fan boys.
If only the Bond crowd was still kicking, the reviews on IMDB and ROTTENTOMATOES had a few ones and threes.
Before you read Siolam and give it a one or three remember this there is a difference between a novel and film.
Film cannot have loose ends, plot holes or a change in character development unless it’s something like the Sixth Sense or something like American Beauty.  In those two movies, the main character (the protagonist) stumbled through the movie unaware of what was really happening to him.
In Siolam Bart and Beth stumble from place to place in search of a gang of killers.

But if you like a good story regardless of anything try Siolam.
Spectre is like that, Bond received a message from the grave from M and thus provides us with loop-to-loop helicopters and well kills.  After all, he is double 0.
But in his chase to find justice or redemption or is it he knows nothing but killing so he kills we find ourselves in London, Austria, Morocco,  and a few other places.  All shot on location.
I know why the 47 year old wants to quit they keep pairing him with 30 year olds when he has Rachel Weiss.  In the Sean Connery films the women were of equal age until, Sean returned in Never say Never Again.

Perhaps Daniel Craig will have to that to, save Bond from any group who seeks to harm the flag.  Queen and Country
6.5 of ten though I did nap a bit.
