The movie starts with a young Madeleine nursing her drunken mother, before a killer, Lyutsifer Safin, breaks into her house and kills her mother in front of her. She manages to kill Lyutsifer or so she thought before he rises up again and chases her into a frozen lake. She falls into the lake and the killer rescues her. 

In the recent time, Madeleine and James are enjoying their lives as normal people. James is attacked by Spectre assassins while he visits a tomb but he escapes. He believes that Madeleine sold him out and leaves her, never to be heard again by anyone.

Years later, scientist Valdo Obruchev is kidnapped from an MI6 laboratory - taking with him Project Heracles - a bioweapon containing nanobots that will infect like a virus upon touch and coded to an individual's DNA. 

James, who now lives in seclusion and retired in Jamaica, is contacted by his friend Felix and Logan to assist them in finding the scientist. He declines. When another agent, Nomi, approaches him and tells him that she is the new 007, he agrees to assist Felix.  

He meets with Paloma, another CIA agent, and works with her to retrieve the scientiest during Blofeld's birthday celebration. Blofeld is imprisoned elsewhere but uses his bionic eye to lead the celebration. During the party, Valdo was instructed to kill Bond using the Heracles. But Valdo is now working with Lyutsifer and reprogrammed the nanobots to kill all Spectre's members instead. 

Bond manages to capture Valdo and returns with him to see Logan and Felix. Logan is a double agent and working with Lyutsifer, kills Felix and runs with Valdo. 

Lyutsifer visits Madeleine and threatens her to infect herself with a nanobot dose to kill Blofeld as she is the only one Blofeld talks to since his imprisonment. James meets Madeleine before the meeting Blofeld and accidentally touches Madeleine. Madeleine backs off but when James meets with Blofeld, he unknowingly transfers the deadly nanobots into Blofeld and kills him. 

James tracks Madeleine to her childhood home where he meets with Mathilde, Madeleine''s five year old daughter who she claims is not his. There she tells him about his first encounter with Lyutsifer and the reason he is killing everyone. 

Knowing that Lyutsifer will not stop at anything, the trio tries their best to run from him but fails when Madeleine and her daughter is captured. 

Will James be able to free from his past and save his future? 

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.5/ 5.0 I find that the length is not enough to better tell the stories involved in this one. I need more time to understand Lyutsifer's motives (although no one can ever understand why criminals the way they are). A bit too rush but somehow kinda enough.

Cast: 4.7/ 5.0 Everyone is spectacular. The list of actors - ENCORE!

Will I Watch It Again: I don't mind watching it again.
