Bond is begrudgingly taken out of retirement from Jamaica as he’s enlisted by CIA agent Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright) and his colleague Logan Ash (Billy Magnussen) who is a certified Bond fanboy to retrieve Valdo from Cuba.

Durgesh Tiwary’s View : When I watched the trailer of this film planned to watch this movie on its premiere day because I have been fan of this franchise and this is final time Daniel Craig is playing the role of James Bond.
James Bond who has retired and lives the life of a recluse, finds himself in the midst of trying to solve the mystery of Project Heracles. The more he delves deep into the case, the more he has to lose. Will he risk everything for this mission?
It is this world that Daniel Craig’s James Bond has both survived in and saved for 15 long years since Casino Royale was released (Craig’s first outing as Bond). And it is this world that he leaves behind as he becomes Bond for the last time in No Time to Die. The film is a fitting tribute to everything that has gone in between. For an actor who once said he would rather slash his wrist than play Bond again, Craig owns Bond with such aplomb in No Time To Die that when the final scene ends and the credits roll out, you feel a deep disquiet knowing Craig will no longer be Bond.
Overall it is an emotional watch for James Bond fanatics as it’s been craftily marketed as Daniel Craig’s one last reluctant hurrah as the flamboyant British spy. Movie is befitting adieu to Daniel Craig’s James Bond of extravagant, grandiose proportions. Simply because you’re darn curious to know if Bond would miraculously make it out alive. My view on this movie Highly Recommended for all Bond fans.
