James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) is really in for a ride, and it is not all good. He starts by thwarting an arms deal, with diamonds for arms, but he blows up the diamonds into the face of Zao (Rick Yune) who works for Colonel Moon (Will Yun Lee) of North Korea, the son of General Moon (Kenneth Tsang). He chases him on a boat and sees him go over a water fall. He is presumed dead. Bond was betrayed in this as the North Koreans were looking for him.
Bond comes upon the same diamonds in the Caribbean at a plastic surgery center where Zao is trying to have his face changed. There Bond meets Jinx (Halle Berry) who is also after Zao. Together they rouste him out but he gets away. He is able to track the diamonds with their signature to Gustav Graves (Toby Stephens). Graves is in Iceland where he runs an ice hotel.
Bond pursues them to Iceland. Miranda Frost (Rosamund Pike) is ordered by M (Judi Dench) to go with him. Q (John Cleese) arms him with a sonic watch and a really cool car that can be invisible. Moneypenny (Samantha Bond) still is infatuated with Bond, who instead pursues other ladies.
Graves in truth is Colonel Moon who has been altered via DNA change. Frost is a double agent, resulting in Bond and Jinx being captured. Graves has developed a satellite weapon using the sun. It can cause great destruction. Of course Bond gets away and with his special car comes back. He is able to thwart Zao who drives his car into the ocean. Graves has directed the weapon at the ice castle which is melting and causing flooding. JInx is in the flood but Bond crashes the care into the castle to save her.
As the weapon becomes known to the intelligence community the Americans try to blow it up with nuclear weapon. However the weapon destroys the rocket. It is left to Bond and Jinx to save the day. There is a great scene where they fight on a plane, Jinx against Frost and Graves against Bond.
Lots of action with chases and fights. Very enjoyable.
