Synopsis

One of North Koreans most feared generals is developing a powerful weapon to invade the South. Bond (Pierce Brosnan)'s mission leads him from the North Korean dungeons, over Hong Kong and Cuba, to Iceland. Millionaire Gustav Graves (Toby Stephens) invites him there for a spectacular presentation in the Ice Palace. Surrounded by two beautiful Bond girls (Halle Berry and Rosamund Pike), Bond tries to unravel the mystery and destroy the weapon that threatens South Korea.
Madonna plays the role of Verity, a role often described as a "filthy lesbian dominatrix fencing instructor".

Rating

Though not a particular Bond fan, I liked this movie. Madonna's part is very small, but it makes a good scene. Her acting is natural and the scene flows pretty well. The lesbian aspect is limited to some innuendo words and looks with Miranda Frost (Rosamund Pike), but Madonna makes sure her 5-minute cameo doesn't go unnoticed with some great oneliners! 8/10

How would you rate this movie? (10=excellent - 1=terrible)
