This is the only James Bond movie I've ever seen. It was okay. Judy Dench is really old and wrinkly. Javier Bardem was a good villain.

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
There can be no hope in a movie that opens with a naked, sweaty Philip
Seymour Hoffman doing someone doggy-style. None at all. Also, they
managed to make Ethan Hawke look terrible. Albert Finney turned out to
be a good actor, though. (I've never really seen him in anything else.) I
really enjoyed the strategy they used for flashbacks, both introducing
them and editing them in. It kept things interesting, always revealing
more of the story without ever making you feel like you were missing out
on something. It really is more of a melodrama than a thriller, and the
commentary was quite interesting. More enjoyable than the movie,
certainly.
