The World Is Not Enough contains perhaps Pierce Brosnan’s most sinister kill as James Bond. Brosnan’s exciting introduction as Bond in GoldenEye was met with considerable acclaim, and his further three films as 007 proved financially successful, though none of them truly lived up to the standard set by his debut.

The film managed to maintain truly ludicrous scenes in a relatively logical and engaging plot – with Bond nonchalantly driving a tank through St Petersburg clear evidence of this. However, a penchant for the spectacular would plague much of Brosnan’s Bond era. Plotlines often seemed nonsensical and simply an excuse to provide extravagant action scenes and gimmicky gadgets. The World Is Not Enough, Brosnan’s third film as 007, was arguably a refreshing deviation from the normative procedure; attentive to elements of drama and featuring rather authentic villainous incentives.
