Skyfall

Are 007 (Daniel Craig) and M (Judieth Dench) two old dogs and MI6 a relic in today's spy world? A stolen list, an assassin, a rogue agent, and cyber terrorism thicken this revenge plot that pays homage to the early Bond films. Javier Bardem plays a diabolical menace and a worthy crazed opponent. Alien recommends reviewing the early Sean Connery Bonds to fully appreciate this vintage tribute. "Skyfall" will take Bond back to his beginnings. After 50 years of Bond films, this genre classic is going back to basics, trying to reinvent itself, and coming full circle.

Alien gives it 3 ½ "think on your sins" stars out of 4.
