Daniel Craig continues his iconic work as James Bond in the brilliantly engrossing Skyfall from director Sam Mendes (Empire of Light BFF22). Bond’s latest mission goes wrong, agents around the world are exposed and MI6 is brutally attacked. These events cause M's (Judi Dench) authority to be challenged by Mallory (Ralph Fiennes), the new Chairman of the Intelligence and Security Committee. With MI6 now compromised, M is left with only one ally she can truly trust: Bond. 007 takes to the shadows, following a trail to the mysterious Silva (Javier Bardem), whose lethal and hidden motives are yet to reveal themselves. Skyfall presents Bond at his finest.
