But while Bond as you say, cannot be broken any longer because of the events that transpired here, he can still feel the scars. Which is what I enjoyed about this film, it's sense of the real danger Bond faces and the consequences. The guy puts his ass on the line and has the marks to show for it. First is the fight on the stairwell with the two black guys, he has to go back to his room and clean all the blood up while downing a glass of scotch or two to dull the pain. Then there's the torture scene, where 007 gets his balls whacked repeatedly and has to spend some time to recover to get his mojo back. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> That's what most of the Bond films in the last 30 or so years have been lacking, a sense of realism in terms of the danger to Bond himself. I don't wanna see him imprisoned by the bad guy in some luxury suite just so he could dine with him and hear the baddie's master plan, after which said baddie puts 007 in some elaborate death trap of which there's some hidden flaw which Bond can exploit in order to escape. I wanna now see the bad guy imprison 007 in the darkest pit and hand him his ass repeatedly until he talks, during which Bond will proceed to piss off the baddie with a smirk and then the bad guy will put out a gun to put him out of his misery. That's the kind of attitude I want for the series as a whole.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" />  That was actually one of the few things I liked in Die Another Day. It was such a change to see Bond captured by the enemy and have himself tortured for one year in an effort to fish out his secrets. Too bad the rest of the film didn't keep in line with that attitude. :\</blockquote>
