Raise a Glass, 007 is 50. Ask for a Martini or a Skyfall
In honour of Mr Bond's 50th anniversary outing, we are serving his favourite tipple, the Classic Martini, along with a special limited-edition cocktail, the Skyfall.
Take your pick, take it into the screen with you, and sit back for the greatest, most glamorous adventure this autumn.
SKYFALL (12A)
Director: Sam Mendes. Starring: Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Judi Dench, Ralph Fiennes. UK/USA 2012. 143 mins.
Although director Sam Mendes is fresh to the franchise, several key players are back on board for the latest in post-Fleming Bondmanship.
Daniel Craig again reprises the spy's taut if dignified ruthlessness, apparently returning from the dead to face a new and satisfyingly evil villain: Raoul Silva, played by Javier Bardem with the cool menace he exhibited so effectively in NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN.
Silva's murky connections with M (Judi Dench, equally imperturbable) prompt lashings of spectacular mayhem that will delight 007 die-hards.
But alongside seasoned Bond screenwriters Robert Wade and Neal Purvis (QUANTUM OF SOLACE, CASINO ROYALE), newcomer John Logan (THE LAST SAMURAI, CORIOLANUS) and director Mendes have added depth to both characterisation and plot well beyond the usual wham-bam licence, lethal or otherwise.
The action is further enhanced by major talents such as Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris and Albert Finney in what promises to be one of the biggest cinematic events of 2012.
