Review of GoldenEye

Xenia Onatopp: You don't need the gun.

James Bond: Well, that depends on your definition of safe sex.

Loved the film; Sean Bean was a unique villain and Famke Janssen an unusual villainness. A 00 agent is the villain this time around, giving viewers a break from the "rich -insert occupation here-" has decided to use his riches to finance a scheme that will threaten the world. Instead, only one country is the target, and this is because he wants to avenge his parents' death after the country's government betrayed his own country and thus caused his parents to commit suicide. I remember reading that Xenia Onatopp is the only bad Bond girl who actually provided facial expressions depicting extreme sexual pleasure, and I can see what they mean. James Bond (Brosnan) is sent by his superior, M (Dench) to find out what happened in a remote Russian facility which was completely destroyed by a sonic blast. The only survivor, Natalya (Scorupco), holds the identity of the two people who infiltrated the base and killed all of her co-workers, save for a computer programmer, Boris (Cumming). He finds out that the mastermind behind the theft of Goldeneye is his former colleague and friend, Alec Treveylan (Bean), who plans to use the rocket to destroy London as revenge for the death of his parents who killed themselves after the death of Stalin.
The story was great, and it comes to no surprise that the director of my favorite movie, "Casino Royale", was the one who helmed this film. A lot of witty one-liners were thrown in this movie, mainly in reference to Janssen's character, who clearly holds the best Bond girl name in history (aside from Pussy Galore, that is): Xenia Onatopp. Love Moneypenny's quip: "And she trusts that you will stay...Onatopp of things." Great film, you certainly won't be disappointed with this one.

9/10
