Trivia:
Before the shoots even begun, a set was being built in Turkey and it was almost done. One day when the director of the movie was touring around Istanbul, a bombing event took place. Therefore the shots that included the cast were never shot in Istanbul, according to the director, due to security reasons. Not a single cast member actually went to Istanbul. The shots of Robert Carlyle and his men getting off the boat on the jetty at Electra's palace were shot in the tank at Pinewood against a blue/green screen. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When Bond and Renard first come face-to-face at the silo, Bond puts his pistol on Renard's temple. When the camera cuts on Renard's line, "I did spare your life at the banker's office," the gun has changed position to Renard's forehead. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Lachaise: So good of you to come see me, Mr Bond, particularly on such short notice.
James Bond: If you can't trust a Swiss banker, then what's the world come to?

Top casting and exciting action make this one of the most entertaining Bond films for a while.
Some may disagree, but I think Brosnan has the edge over Connery now. Sophie Marceau is fantastic as Electra, one of the most interesting characters to grace the series for a while. Carlyle, although shortlived, is a very believable and even sympathetic villain and Robbie Coltrane makes a meal of his second appearance as Valentin Zukovsky.
The opening scene of TWINE is probably the best action scene ever in a Bond film and while the ones that follow cannot quite match up to it, they are still top class. Director Michael Apted shows that he has a real talent for dealing with these parts of the movie, and the excellent soundtrack can only improve them.
I went to see this movie on consecutive days and bought the soundtrack (Garbage&David Arnold) the second time, this is the best recommendation that I can possibly give it.
