The spectre of James Bond's past looms large over this latest instalment in the billion dollar franchise. There are old scores demanding to be settled. Characters speaking from beyond the grave. And proceedings even open with the somewhat ominous words 'The dead are alive.' But while the new film neatly connects the Daniel Craig features, it never quite hits the highs of predecessor Skyfall; SPECTRE – the 24th official entry – delivers entertaining if unspectacular thrills.
The dead are most definitely alive during the opening scene, with the drama taking place in Mexico City during Dia de los Muertos. And while it's not the best of Bond's pre-credit sequences, director Sam Mendes has crafted what might just be the coolest; James strutting the streets to a toe-tapping percussive score, weaving in and out of thousands of extras, and scaling the outside of a building in what looks like a single unbroken take. He then hunts his prey in an adrenaline-fueled chase, the scene only slightly spoiled by some dodgy CGI during the concluding punch-up in a helicopter.
