The World is Not Enough
Pierce Brosnan is James Bond for a third time. Involves the death of an oil tycoon, his gorgeous daughter (French star Sophie Marceau), another agent hilariously named Dr. Christmas Jones (Denise Richards, Wild Things) and a bad guy who can’t feel pain because of a bullet in his head.

Apted ensures it all passes by efficiently enough. And his extraordinarily well staged opening salvo is one of the most impressive Bond sequences yet.
