"Ten million was wired to your account in Montenegro, with the contingency for five more if I deem it a prudent investment. I suppose you've given some thought to the notion that if you lose, our government will have directly financed terrorism."
Review: This was almost a 5 Star film. It was a spot on thrilling ride until the middle of the third act where it slowed down to a crawl and then finished with the sinking building in Venice. That scene always takes me out of the movie when I watch it. It seems too unreal for a Bond film that is trying to be gritty and more realistic. Some have complained about the lengthy card game in the second act but I really enjoyed it.
"You know, I never understood all these elaborate tortures. It's the simplest thing... to cause more pain than a man can possibly endure. And of course, it's not only the immediate agony, but the knowledge that if you do not yield soon enough... there will be little left to identify you as a man. The only question remains: will you yield, in time?"
"The job's done and the bitch is dead."
4 1/2 out of 5 Stars
