NO TIME TO DIE (REVIEW) (2021)

Reviews of films

No Time to Die, Daniel Craig’s last outing as James Bond, is a film I’ve been anticipating for what seems like an eternity. This film has gone through the wringer on its way to the big screen, from cast injuries to COVID-related delays. By any measure of the imagination, Daniel Craig hasn’t been my favorite Bond actor. Still, for the most part, I’ve liked the films. Not to mention the fact that Casino Royale introduced me to Eva Green, a debt I’ll never be able to pay back. Can Craig’s last performance as the world’s most famous spy movie live up to the hype? Let’s get started.

We see James and Madeleine relaxing into domestic bliss after the events of SPECTRE. She begs him whether, for the sake of their new relationship, he can make peace with Vesper. However, he discovers evidence to Madeleine’s terrible history in the place of forgiveness, endangering their newfound happiness. Years later, when a new enemy puts Madeleine’s and the world’s safety in jeopardy, Bond is pulled out of retirement for one last major operation.

 

No Time to Die seems like a love letter to vintage Bond for a good portion of its duration. Hans Zimmer’s orchestral soundtrack, the visuals over the theme tune, and even certain lines of speech allude to earlier films such as On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. With the rare grin and Connery-esque jabs and one-liners, Daniel Craig is also at his most Bondian. I was disturbed by the continuation of the love story from SPECTRE, but at first I felt it was a fitting send-off for Craig’s Bond and a respectful homage to those who came before. No Time to Die’s acting is about what you’d anticipate. Everyone works hard for their money, but I don’t believe this is Craig’s finest performance in the role, and no one else blew me away. But I’m not shocked or upset by this; Daniel Craig has been weary of playing this character for years. And, to be honest, the majority of the supporting cast is given nothing to do in No Time to Die.

No Time to Die

Ana de Armas looks stunning and shines in the action sequences, but she’s only in the film for a few minutes. This reminds me of Monica Belucci in SPECTRE, who was also touted as having a larger role in the film. Lashana Lynch isn’t quite as annoying as the advertisement would have you think. In any case, I’m not really invested in her character. We wouldn’t be talking about her if this same kind of persona was a guy. Madeleine is played well by Léa Seydoux, who builds on a character I adored in SPECTRE. At the conclusion of No Time to Die, she’s given a dumb, eye-roll-inducing line to utter, and I sympathize with her. M, played by Ralph Fiennes, has a significant ethical problem, which the film mostly ignores. Moneypenny is played by Naomie Harris, while Q is played by Ben Whishaw. That’s all I have to say about them. As Felix Leiter, Jeffrey Wright is as excellent as ever, but I’m not pleased with where they leave this character. If it was done better, I may feel otherwise, but I’m sure I’d still be disappointed.

No Time to Die

The antagonists in No Time to Die are the greatest waste of time. Although Rami Malek is an outstanding performer and seems to be an ideal candidate for a Bond villain, his part in No Time to Die is just a glorified cameo. Safin seems to be a fascinating guy, and I like his scars and mask; they’re stunning and appropriate for a Bond villain. However, he never expresses emotion, his motive is never explained, and his connection with Madeleine seems forced. His ultimate admission about her is mind-blowing. Blofeld, played by Christoph Waltz, is a major lost opportunity in No Time to Die. Any possibility of a SPECTRE-related tension resolution is completely disregarded. Furthermore, because he and Bond both need to stop Safin, I honestly anticipated a team-up of some kind. At one point, the camera pulls away from Bond and Blofeld’s fight to check in with Tanner and Nomi, which caught me completely off guard. Why would you take a break from the major plot to check in on minor characters who aren’t accomplishing much? Finally, Billy Magnussen appears as a side-villain working for Safin in another appearance. He was excellent in Into the Woods, and I was pleasantly pleased when he appeared in No Time to Die. There are a few excellent gags about him, but he doesn’t get to add anything substantial to the film.

No Time to Die

Unfortunately, around an hour in, I began to be concerned about No Time to Die’s direction. There’s a lot to like about this picture, but towards the conclusion, it seems like it’s at odds with itself. As I already said, this film begins with a bang. No Time to Die is fast-paced for about a third of the picture (give or take), with clever humor, great combat choreography, and well-placed references to previous 007 films. It eventually devolves into a drag with an overabundance of sidekicks and a man-baby protagonist. I was really enraged at the conclusion. I haven’t been this startled and horrified by a film’s conclusion since Toy Story 4. It’s odd because it’s also the apparent conclusion of another film series I grew up with and like.

Overall, No Time to Die disappoints me, but I suppose I shouldn’t be shocked. For the most part, Daniel Craig’s time as Bond has resulted in excellent films, although he has a propensity to sound frustrated in the character. I’m not a fan of a lot of the current iteration’s cosmetic trappings. They were hesitant to simply produce them as Bond movies until SPECTRE (and, to a lesser degree, Skyfall). Despite many allusions to previous Bond films (most notably On Her Majesty’s Secret Service), No Time to Die is the least Bond-like of the Craig flicks. Move over, Casino Royale; this film has you beat at… something… I suppose.
