VERDICT – 3/5

PROS -
1) A KGB spy fakes his defection to give false info to MI6 about KGB's new chief Pushkin reviving an old KGB's policy to "kill all enemy spies". This results in MI6 directing Bond to kill Pushkin but Bond have other plans.
2) Ashton Martin chase sequence from Bratislava to Austria that includes the iconic Cello Case Sled.
3) Andreas Wisniewski as Necros, a KGB agent who's almost equal to Bond.
4) Action adventure plot that starts from Gibraltar to Czechoslovakia to Vienna to finally culminating in Afghanistan with a mujahideen sub-plot.

CONS -
1) The title is again dull.
2) Timothy Dalton is agile and convincing as the iconic sleuth however not as much suave and confident.

QUOTE -
Kara Milovy: You were fantastic. We're free.
James Bond: Kara, we're inside a Russian airbase in the middle of Afghanistan.
